Abstract

Granüler hücreli tumor (GHT), hemen hemen vücudun her bölgesinde ortaya çıkabilen bir tümördür. Vakaların yaklaşık % 5 ila 15'i memede görülür ve aksillada nispeten nadir ortaya çıkarlar. Granüler hücreli tümörlerin % 1-2'si maligndir. Meme GHT'lerinin klinik semptomları ve görüntüleme incelemeleri spesifik değildir ve malign tümörlerle kolayca karışabilir. Çoğu iyi huyludur ve bildirilen malign vakalar nadirdir. Aksiller bölgede yaklaşık 2 yıldır palpabl kitlesi olan ve granüler hücreli tumor tanısı alan 59 yaşında bir erkek hastayı sunuyoruz. Palpabl kitlesi yaklaşık 15 mm çapındaydı ve klinik olarak malignite şüphesi vardı. Kitlenin kalın iğne biyopsisi granüler hücreli tümör özellikleri gösterdi ve cerrahi eksizyon yapıldı. Tümörün erken tanısı ve tam rezeksiyonu en iyi tedavi yöntemi olmaya devam etmektedir.

Granular cell tumor presenting as an axillary mass: A case report

Abstract

Granular cell tumor (GCT) is a tumor that can arise at virtually any body site. About 5 to 15% of the cases occur in the breast, and it is relatively rare in the axilla. %1-2 of granular cell tumors are malignant. The clinical symptoms and imaging examinations of breast GCTs are non-specific and can easily be confused with malignant tumors. Most are benign and reportedly malignant cases are rare. We report a 59-year-old male with granular cell tumor in axillary region existed approximately 2 years. The palpable mass was around 15mm in diameter and felt clinically suspicious of malignancy. Tru-cut biopsy of the mass showed granular cell tumor features and surgical excision was performed. Early diagnosis and complete resection of the tumor remains the best treatment method.
