RESPIRATORY CASE REPORTS<br />
Pulmonary granular cell tumors are rare lesions, with<br />
approximately 100 reported cases in the literature.<br />
We present a case of pulmonary granular cell tumor.<br />
A 21-year-old female was admitted to our hospital<br />
with a long history of chronic coughing. The computed<br />
tomography scan of the thorax showed an infiltrate<br />
in the anterior segment of the right lower lobe.<br />
The flexible bronchoscopy revealed infiltration at the<br />
entrance of the right lower lobe bronchus. The bronchoscopic<br />
biopsy revealed the diagnosis of granular<br />
cell tumor. She underwent a right lower lobectomy.<br />
Forty-two months after surgery, the patient remains<br />
disease-free and there has been no recurrence of the<br />
tumor.<br />
Key words: Granular cell tumor, bronchus, bronchoscopy,<br />
surgery.<br />
Granular cell tumors (GCTs) are uncommon neoplasms<br />
that usually exhibit benign behavior (1).<br />
These tumors have been reported in various sites,<br />
but are more commonly found in the skin, subcutaneous<br />
tissue, tongue, oral mucosa, and breast<br />
(2). Occurrence in the lung is rare, and accounts<br />
Pulmoner granüler hücreli tümörler, literatürde yayınlanmış<br />
yaklaşık 100 olgu ile nadir lezyonlardır. Bir<br />
pulmoner granüler hücreli tümör olgusunu sunuyoruz.<br />
Yirmi bir yaşında kadın hasta uzun süredir devam<br />
eden kronik öksürük yakınması ile hastanemize başvurdu.<br />
Bilgisayarlı toraks tomografisi sağ alt lobda<br />
infiltrasyon gösteriyordu. Fiberoptik bronkoskopide<br />
sağ alt lob girişinde infiltrasyon saptandı. Bronkoskopik<br />
biyopsi ile granüler hücreli tümör tanısı elde edildi.<br />
Hastaya sağ alt lobektomi yapıldı. Ameliyattan 42<br />
ay sonra yapılan kontrolde rekürrens yoktu.<br />
Anahtar Sözcükler: Granüler hücreli tümör, bronş,<br />
bronkoskopi, cerrahi.<br />
for only 6 % to 10 % of all GCTs (3). GCTs of the<br />
lung can present as an endobronchial or parenchymal<br />
lesion (1,4). Most endobronchial lesions<br />
are found in the trachea and central bronchi (5).<br />
We present a case of endobronchial granular cell<br />
tumor arising in the right lower lobe bronchus.<br />
