title: Co-existing granular cell tumor and adenocarcinoma of the lung: a case report and review of the literature.
abstract: Granular cell tumor (GCT) of the lung is a rare tumor, constituting less than 10% of all GCTs. It is a multicentric tumor and infiltrates into adjoining tissue, but malignant GCT of the lung has not been reported. Diagnosis is usually obtained with bronchoscopic biopsy. Treatment options include bronchoscopic extirpation, laser therapy, and sleeve resection. We present a case of GCT co-existing with adenocarcinoma of the lung and review the literature.
