granular cell tumor presenting as a large leg mass
Authors
abstract
granular cell tumor is a rare benign neoplasm most commonly appears in the head and neck region, especially in the tongue, cheek mucosa, and palate. occurrence in limbs is even rarer. these tumors account for approximately 0.5% of all soft tissue tumors. granular cell tumor can also affect other organs including skin, breast, and lungs. local recurrence and metastasis is potentially higher in malignant forms with poor prognosis in respect to the benign counterparts. the average diameter of the tumor is usually about 2-3 cm. we report a granular cell tumor in the leg with an unusual size.

Herein, we report on a 24-year-old woman with a large well-marginated gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma. She presented with dysphagia and epigastric pain. In esophagogastroduodenoscopy there was a huge bulging submucosal mass with normal appearing mucosa in the cardia in addition to a grade B gastro-esophageal reflux disease. She was treated with a proton pump inhibit...

Introduction: Metastatic lesions of the oral cavity are extremely rare, accounting for approximately 1% of all malignant oral tumors. The most common primary sources of metastatic tumors in the oral region are, from the most to the least common, the breast, lung, kidney, bone, and colon. Renal cell carcinoma accounts for nearly 3% of all adult malignancies. It usually metastasizes to the lungs,...

Background: Granular cell tumor (Abrikossoff’s tumor) is a rare and slow-growing tumor of the soft tissue. Originated from the Schwann cells, it is often a benign tumor, but it can be malignant in 1-3% of the cases. Malignant cases can cause significant morbidity and mortality. It may develop in many anatomic locations, especially in the head and neck region, and also in skin and subcutaneous t...
full textDiffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma Presenting as a Cardiac Mass.
Cardiac involvement as an initial presentation of malignant lymphoma is a rare occurrence. We describe the case of a 77-year-old man who had initially been diagnosed with a left atrial mass on an echocardiogram, presenting with progressive dyspnea, dysphagia, odynophagia and fevers. The cardiac mass had been managed as an outpatient with full anticoagulation for the suspicion of clot. On admiss...

Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) is a T cell lymphoma occurring commonly in childhood and rarely in adults. Central nervous system involvement in ALCL is very rare and cerebellar involvement at presentation has never been described. We examine the case of a young adult who presented with a cerebellar mass. A 19-year-old boy presented with signs of raised intracranial tension, which, on ima...
