Granular cell tumor of the breast mimicking carcinoma in pregnancy.
A granular cell tumor of the breast in a 20-year-old black pregnant woman is reported. Malignancy had been suspected clinically, radiologically, and on gross pathologic examination. Frozen section provided the correct diagnosis and the lesion was excised, obviating more radical surgery.
