Abstract Granular cell tumor may be located anywhere in the body; however, the gastrointestinal tract is infrequently involved and anal granular cell tumors are extremely rare. We report herein a rare case of granular cell tumor in the anal region. In the current case, a 66-year-old Japanese woman was found to have a polypoid lesion in the anus with hemorrhoids. The mass detected as an anal polypoid lesion with ulceration was resected and diagnosed as granular cell tumor by histologic examination. Granular cell tumor of the anal region is rare, and benign perianal polypoid lesions are relatively uncommon clinical findings. They might present diagnostic challenges to surgeons and pathologists. Awareness of the differential diagnosis of granular cell tumor and careful microscopic examination might allow proper management and diagnosis.

Granular Cell Tumour

Our aim is to present the case report of a woman affected by tracheal granular cell tumor analysed by multiphasic contrast-enhanced multidetector CT. The tumor presents as polypoid lesion (diameter 13 mm), with smooth and well-defined margins, elevated contrast enhancement in arterial phase, and a modest release of contrast in venous phase. This pattern is quite different from the other tracheal tumours. We have performed a comprehensive review of literature to assess all cases of granular cell tumors of the trachea; only 40 cases are reported. Of these, no one focused on the contrast enhancement aspect, so our work is the first showing a specific pattern in multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) of the tracheal granular cell tumour and may help in differential diagnosis.

<p class="abstract"><span lang="EN-US">A granular cell tumor (GCT) is a rare neoplasm. It grows slowly, presumably originates from a Schwann cell, and is typically benign. Histopathologically, GCTs are composed of loosely infiltrating sheets of large, pale, polyhedral cells with abundant granular eosinophilic cytoplasm and a pale, centrally situated nucleus. Immunohistochemically, GCTs express the S-100 protein and neuron-specific enolase. A GCT can occur anywhere in the body. Half of all GCTs occur in the head and neck regions, especially on the tongue, but they are rarely found in the nasal cavity. A GCT usually arises as a solitary tumor and can be confirmed only by a histologic examination. The appropriate treatment is excision of the lesion. </span>Here, we present a rare case of a GCT originating in the right posterior ethmoid sinus in the nasal cavity. A GCT originating in a posterior ethmoid sinus has not been reported thus far. In our case, a simple nasal polyp was found in the left ethmoid sinus of the patient. Thus, we initially misjudged the GCT in the right nasal cavity as a simple nasal polyp.</p>

Objective. Granular cell tumors arise from neurogenic mesenchymal stem cells and can occur anywhere throughout the body. They rarely present as breast masses and should be included in the differential diagnosis of pediatric breast neoplasms. We report a rare presentation of a pediatric breast granular cell tumor and a review of the literature.Participant. A 15-year-old female presented with an enlarging breast mass. She underwent ultrasound imaging and excisional biopsy, which revealed a granular cell tumor. Granular cell tumors of the breast are difficult to diagnose using ultrasound and mammography due to numerous similarities to other breast masses. Histopathologic staining best differentiates breast granular cell tumors from other breast masses with their positive staining for S100, CD68, and neurospecific enolase.Conclusion. Although rare, granular cell tumors of the breast should be considered as a possible diagnosis for pediatric breast masses to allow for proper management and follow-up for these patients. Although rare, these tumors do have malignant potential necessitating a correct and timely diagnosis.

We report here a rare case of granular cell tumor (GCT) operated on with diagnosis of bile duct cancer. All clinical, biological, morphological, operative and histological characteristics are described in this observation. We have done a whipple resection and postoperative course was uneventful. The patient is alive and well at postoperative month. This is the rare disease which must be known by the surgical community to choose the adequate surgery.
