Granular cell tumours are rare, mostly benign masses that arise from Schwann cells. Their pathophysiology is poorly understood, but the lesions are often seen in the breast, tongue, and skin. In this case report, we discuss a 34-year-old patient with recurrent pneumonia. The patient had several comorbidities, and was intubated due to respiratory distress and eventually placed on tracheostomy. During the procedure, she was noted to have a right middle lobe endobronchial lesion. It was excised and identified as a granular cell tumour. The patient was later weaned off the ventilator and discharged without any complications.
颗粒细胞瘤罕见，多为起源于施万细胞的良性肿块。其病理生理学尚不清楚，但病变常见于乳腺、舌和皮肤。在本病例报告中，我们讨论了一名患有复发性肺炎的34岁患者。该患者有多种合并症，因呼吸窘迫插管，最终行气管造口术。手术过程中，发现她右中叶有支气管内病变。病变切除后被确诊为颗粒细胞瘤。该患者后来脱机，出院时无任何并发症。
