Perianal granular cell tumors (GCT) are rare. This case highlights a benign GCT successfully treated with surgery, emphasizing the importance of accurate diagnosis to distinguish from squamous cell carcinoma.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Oncology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Granular cell tumors (GCT) are uncommon neoplasms, with a predilection for the tongue and skin.
  • Perianal localization of GCT is exceptionally rare, posing diagnostic challenges.

Observation:

  • A 56-year-old male presented with a progressively enlarging papule on the right anal margin.
  • Histopathological examination revealed a dermal proliferation strongly expressing S100 protein, consistent with GCT.
  • The overlying epidermis showed pseudo-epitomatous hyperplasia.

Findings:

  • The perianal GCT was completely excised locally.
  • Immunohistochemistry confirmed S100 protein expression, characteristic of GCT.
  • No recurrence was observed 40 months post-surgery.

Implications:

  • Accurate differentiation of GCT from squamous cell carcinoma is crucial, especially in cutaneous and mucosal lesions exhibiting pseudo-epitomatous hyperplasia.
  • While typically benign, the potential for malignant transformation and metastasis necessitates vigilant follow-up.
  • This case underscores the successful surgical management of rare perianal GCTs.
