Granular cell tumor of the bronchus: A case report

INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE: Pulmonary granular cell tumor (GCT) is a very rare neoplasm that originates from Schwann cells. CASE PRESENTATION: Our case report describes a symptomatic benign pulmonary GCT found during follow-up CT imaging and was eventually excised with a good outcome. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: GCT are mostly benign tumors. Pulmonary GCTs mostly occur in the endobronchial region and can be symptomatic or discovered incidentally. CONCLUSION: Treatment options for pulmonary GCT are either conservative treatment or surgical resection depending on the size of the tumor and the presence of tracheal wall invasion.
