Granular cell tumor of the biliary tree in a pediatric patient.
Granular cell tumor of the biliary tree is a rare benign tumor that occurs most commonly in young African-American girls. Granular cell tumor rarely is included in the differential diagnosis of biliary obstruction, yet complete surgical excision is curative. The authors report a case of granular cell tumor of the biliary tree in a pediatric patient that required a pancreaticoduodenectomy for cure.
