Multi‐focal, multi‐centric granular cell tumours: a management dilemma
Granular cell tumours (GCT) are uncommon, usually solitary tumours of neural/Schwann cell origin that occur at any site of the body, and typically run an indolent clinical course. Treatment by excision is recommended. Distant or nodal metastases are the only reliable signs of malignancy. We describe...

description | Granular cell tumours (GCT) are uncommon, usually solitary tumours of neural/Schwann cell origin that occur at any site of the body, and typically run an indolent clinical course. Treatment by excision is recommended. Distant or nodal metastases are the only reliable signs of malignancy. We describe the case of a 47‐year‐old woman with a multi‐focal, multi‐centric GCT involving the pulmonary and gastrointestinal systems, highlighting the imaging and pathological features and the challenge faced in establishing its malignant potential. |
