[Granular cell tumor of the male breast. Case report and review of the literature].
The authors report a case of granular cell tumor of the breast arising in a 38-year old man. Preoperative diagnosis was of breast carcinoma. However, frozen sections showed the benign nature of the tumour. It is important to identify this lesion as, in spite of a clinical and mammographic similarity with carcinoma, its behaviour is quite benign, and a simple tumour excision is the recommended treatment.
