Abstract
Granular cell tumor is a type of benign tumor that rarely shows malignant findings. It can occur in any part of
the body, it is most commonly seen in the tongue. The breast is an extraordinary localization site for granular cell tumor.
When it forms a solitary mass with irregular contours in the breast, it can mimic a clinically and radiologically malignant
breast tumor, which may lead to unnecessary aggressive surgical approaches. We aim to present and discuss our case of
granular cell tumor in the breast in terms of its histopathological properties, which is difficult to do in a clinic through
histopathological diagnosis.
