Surgical approaches for pulmonary granular cell tumours in horses

Abstract BACKGROUND AND IMPORTANCE Granular cell tumors (GCTs) of the sellar and suprasellar regions are rare tumors that may be managed surgically by multiple strategies. The technical approaches for these tumors have rarely been described in the literature. CLINICAL PRESENTATION We introduce the case of a patient presenting with dizziness and headaches who was found to have a suprasellar and retrochiasmatic mass and eventually underwent surgical resection. We discuss the characteristics of this tumor, and the current state of the literature. Also included are details regarding the surgical approach utilized in this case, and a discussion of the various surgical approaches for this type of tumor. CONCLUSION There are several approaches for the surgical resection of suprasellar GCTs, and the approach utilized may depend on patient and/or surgeon considerations. Patient-specific considerations must be made to ensure maximal safe resection of these lesions.

Granular Cell Tumours

AbstractGranular cell tumour is a rare benign neoplasm, that can affect many parts of the body, as single or multiple lesions. It is more common in black people and females. Typically it occurs between the fourth and fifth decades of life, with the median age for the laryngeal variety as 36 years. About 30 to 50 per cent occur in the tongue and 30 per cent in the skin.A case of granular cell tumour of the larynx is reported in an eight-year-old girl, presenting with hoarseness of voice. She was successfully treated with local excision of the tumour. This tumour is rare in the larynx where it is more common in males than females although granular cell tumours are found more frequently in females generally.For these reasons the authors suspect that their case, of a laryngeal granular cell tumour occurring in an eight-year-old girl might be the youngest to be reported.

Granular Cell Tumours

Granular cell tumours are rare neoplasms that may occur anywhere in the body. The most common locations are the oral cavity, skin and subcutaneous tissue, with only 8% of these tumours occurring at a gastrointestinal site. In the specific case of gastric granular cell tumours, only a few cases have been published until today. Granular cell tumours are usually benign; however, some malignant forms have been reported. Both endoscopic and surgical resection represent the treatment of choice. The authors report a new clinical case of a gastric granular cell tumour, treated with laparoscopic surgical resection, describing some endoscopic, imagiological and anatomopathological features.
