A 74-year-old female patient presented with a hard breast mass and dimpling with a clinical suspicion of a carcinoma. Histological evaluation revealed a granular cell tumour. Granular cell tumour is a rare neoplasm, mostly benign in origin that may arise in every body site, 5%-15% of cases occur in the breast. It is strongly suggested that granular cell tumours origin is Schwann cells. Clinically, granular cell tumours presentation may mimic mammary carcinoma and their similar features on mammography and ultrasound make it difficult to differentiate between them.
一名74岁女性患者因乳房出现硬肿块及酒窝征就诊，临床怀疑为癌。组织学评估显示为颗粒细胞瘤。颗粒细胞瘤是一种罕见肿瘤，大多起源于良性，可发生于身体的任何部位，5% - 15%的病例发生在乳房。强烈提示颗粒细胞瘤起源于施万细胞。临床上，颗粒细胞瘤的表现可能酷似乳腺癌，且它们在乳房X线摄影和超声检查上的相似特征使得难以将它们区分开来。
