ABSTRACT
Granular cell tumor (GCT) of the breast is an uncommon, usually benign tumor originating from Schwann cells of
peripheral nerves. Clinical and radiological findings of GCTs are similar to those of malignant tumors, and GCTs of
the breast are often confused with breast cancer clinically or radiologically. We experienced 1 case of GCT
diagnosed by core needle biopsy and immunohistochemical staining in the right breast of 54-year-old woman with
Graves°Ø disease and report the case with a review of the literature.
