Granular Cell Tumours of the Breast: A Case Series and Literature Review
Granular cell tumours (GCTs) are rare tumours that can occur in any part of the body but are commonly observed in the skin, digestive tract, and subcutaneous tissues, with the oral cavity being the most common anatomical location. Breast involvement has been reported in a small proportion of cases and is commonly benign. However, some of these lesions can be malignant. In this study, two cases of benign granular breast cell tumours in women aged 31 and 39 years are highlighted and discussed. This study shows similarities between the clinical and radiological presentation of GCTs with breast malignancies and the associated management difficulties that can be encountered.
