Granular cell tumors (GCTs) are rare neoplasms of Schwann cell origin that typically arise in the head, neck, and tongue. We present a case of a 64-year-old female who presented with a left groin mass. Surgical excision was performed, and histopathological analysis confirmed a GCT without malignant features. However, the excised mass had positive margins, necessitating re-excision to minimize the risk of recurrence. Surgical excision with negative margins remains the primary treatment for GCTs. The case highlights the importance of recognizing GCTs in uncommon anatomical locations and the importance of complete surgical excision to prevent recurrence.
颗粒细胞瘤(GCTs)是一种罕见的起源于施万细胞的肿瘤,通常发生于头、颈和舌部。我们报告一例64岁女性患者,其左侧腹股沟出现肿块。进行了手术切除,组织病理学分析证实为无恶性特征的颗粒细胞瘤。然而,切除的肿块切缘阳性,需要再次切除以降低复发风险。切缘阴性的手术切除仍然是颗粒细胞瘤的主要治疗方法。该病例强调了在不常见解剖部位识别颗粒细胞瘤的重要性以及完整手术切除以预防复发的重要性。
