Abstract

Granular cell tumor is an uncommon benign tumor derived from Schwann cells. The most common location is the tongue, followed by striated muscle bundles at other sites, and the skin. About 6-8% of granular cell tumors occur in the breast. We report the sonographic findings of a case of graunlar cell tumor occurring at that site.
