Juxta Axillary Granular Cell Tumor
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 6
Abstract
Granular cell tumors or Abrikossoff tumors are very rare, benign and unique tumors in the vast majority of cases, described for the first time in 1926, and can mimicking carcinoma clinically and radiologically. The common sites are the oral cavity, then the subcutaneous tissues of the head and neck and the breasts. The diagnosis remains histopathologic. Its local aggressiveness and its potential for recurrence are related to the quality of the first surgical excision. The evolution of the granular cell tumor is often favorable. We report a new observation of juxta axillary granular cell tumor. Our goal is to discuss the diagnosis and therapeutic features of this rare tumor.
