Abstract

Granular cell tumor of the breast (GCTB) is a rare tumor, particularly in lactating women. This tumor can clinically and radiologically mimic breast carcinoma, which poses particular problems. The association between GCTB and sex hormones should receive particular attention. The present study reports a case of GCTB in a lactating patient. In this tsudy, the case of a 29‑year old female who presented with a mass in the right breast is decribed. Immunohistochemical and cytological analysis revealed a GCT and subsequently wide local excision was performed. At 15 months following surgery, the patient is well and no tumor recurrence has been identified. A comprehensive review of the literature was also performed to assess and compare all cases of GCTB, with particular attention to hyperestrogenic and hyperprolactinemic states. Further studies are required to explore the association between granular cell tumors and hyperestrogenic and hyperprolactinemic states.
