title: Reduction mammaplasty in granular cell tumour of the breast.
abstract: Granular cell tumour of the breast is a rare peripheral nerve tumour. A case in a 34-year-old woman is reported. The clinical and histological differentiation from invasive malignant neoplasm and the surgical management are discussed. Core needle biopsy preoperatively is able to establish the definite diagnosis and help to avoid surgical overtreatment.
