A rare endobronchial granular cell tumor in a 70-year-old male presenting with hemoptysis was successfully resected. This benign lung tumor showed no recurrence after nearly four years of follow-up.

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Granular cell tumors (GCTs) are rare, typically benign neoplasms of neural crest origin.
  • GCTs of the lung are exceptionally uncommon, with endobronchial presentation being even rarer.

Observation:

  • A case of a 70-year-old male with an endobronchial GCT presenting with hemoptysis is described.
  • The tumor measured over 8 mm and exhibited pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia with significant atypia.

Findings:

  • Surgical resection was performed due to the tumor's size and atypical features.
  • Post-operative follow-up of nearly four years revealed no evidence of neoplastic relapse.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of surgical intervention for endobronchial GCTs, even when benign, if they exhibit concerning features.

  • Complete resection appears to be an effective treatment, leading to favorable long-term outcomes.
  • Further research into the specific characteristics and optimal management of pulmonary GCTs is warranted.
