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.
