Endobronchial granular cell tumour

Monaldi Arch Chest Dis. 1999 Oct;54(5):404-6.

Abstract

Granular cell tumour of the lung is a rare benign tumour. We report a case of endobronchial granular cell tumour which occurred in a 70-yr-old male with haemoptysis. Because of the size of the tumour (greater than 8 mm) and the associated pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia with marked atypia, surgical resection was performed. No neoplastic relapse has been observed in nearly 4 yrs of follow-up.
