Granular cell tumour of the pectoral muscle mimicking breast cancer
We describe the case of a 55 year old female who presented with a mass in her right breast. Mammography confirmed a 2 x 2 cm lump, suspicious of malignancy. The lesion was widely resected. Histological examination revealed this to be a benign granular cell tumour.Granular cell tumour is a rare tumour that very occasionally presents within the breast. It is possibly of Schwann cell origin. Clini...
متن کاملBreast fibromatosis mimicking breast carcinoma.
Fibromatosis arising from the breast, also referred to as desmoid tumor, aggressive fibromatosis, or low-grade fibrosarcoma, is a rare benign entity, accounting for only 0.2% of all breast tumors. Associations with familial multicentric fibromatosis and trauma, including that resulting from surgical intervention, have been reported. Awareness of this lesion is important, as the diagnosis has of...
متن کاملGranular cell tumour (Abrikossoff’s tumour): Case series
This case series describes three unreported cases of an uncommon benign neoplasm named Abrikossoff’s tumour or granular cell tumour (GCT). This mesenchymal neoplasm apparently arises from neural or Schwann cell origin with benign and malignant forms. All cases presented here were unique nodules on oral mucosa, coming out from the connective tissue, and occurring in women with age ranging from 3...
متن کاملInfiltrating orbital granular cell tumour: a case report and literature review.
A surgical biopsy of an infiltrative retrobulbar mass in a 44-year-old man was diagnosed as granular cell tumour. Electron microscopy and immunoperoxidase stains were used to confirm the diagnosis and to study the histogenesis of this rare soft tissue neoplasm. S-100 stain was positive, while neuron-specific enolase and myoglobin stains were negative, suggesting a non-specific neural origin for...
متن کاملCD3+, CD4+ & CD8+ tumour infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) are predictors of favourable survival outcome in infiltrating ductal carcinoma of breast
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Tumour infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) represent the host immune response against cancer cells associated with good or bad prognosis in different tumour types. This study was undertaken to evaluate the significance of CD3+, CD4+ and CD8+ TILs in breast cancer tissues in relation to clinico-pathological variables and survival outcome. METHODS Immunohistochemistry (IHC) ...
