We report an atypical granular cell tumour (GCT) presenting in a 6-year-old boy. GCTs are of neural origin and most cases arise in patients between the ages of 40 and 60. There are few reported cases in children, in whom malignant presentations are exceptionally rare. This patient presented with a 1 year history of a slowly enlarging nodule on the right anterior abdomen. Examination revealed a firm, nodular dermal skin lesion, which was fully excised. Histology revealed an atypical GCT.
我们报告了一例发生在一名6岁男孩身上的非典型颗粒细胞瘤(GCT)。颗粒细胞瘤起源于神经,大多数病例发生在40至60岁的患者中。儿童病例报道较少,其中恶性表现极为罕见。该患者有1年的右前腹部缓慢增大结节病史。检查发现一个坚实的、结节状的皮肤病变,已将其完整切除。组织学检查显示为非典型颗粒细胞瘤。
