ABSTRACT

Granular cell tumours (GCT) of the breast have similar clinical and radiological features to breast carcinomas. We present a case of a female patient with a tender, palpable lump, and associated skin changes. Imaging of the lesion was suspicious of malignancy. Initial histological examination showed uniform sheets of polygonal cells with abundant granular cytoplasm, and follow-up immunohistochemistry showed strongly positive staining of tumour cells with S100 and CD68, confirming the diagnosis of GCT. Wide local excision with complete resection margins was performed as a curative treatment for this lesion. This case report highlights the importance of considering GCTs in the differential diagnoses of breast lesions suspicious of malignancy and emphasises the necessity of accurate diagnosis of GCT for proper treatment.
