Abstract
Granular cell tumour (GCT) is a relatively uncommon soft tissue lesion, which most often affects the tongue, skin, and subcutaneous tissue, although it may occur at anybody site. It has a disputed origin even though emerging reports and molecular studies have documented a neural crest lineage. Breast is a uncommon site for GCT more so in the male breast. Here we describe a rare case report of male breast granular cell tumor with relevant literature review.
Keywords: Granular cell tumor, male, breast cancer.
