Granular cell tumour-A case of recurrent pneumonia due to an endobronchial lesion

Granular cell tumours are rare, mostly benign masses that arise from Schwann cells. Their pathophysiology is poorly understood, but the lesions are often seen in the breast, tongue, and skin. In this case report, we discuss a 34-year-old patient with recurrent pneumonia. The patient had several comorbidities, and was intubated due to respiratory distress and eventually placed on tracheostomy. During the procedure, she was noted to have a right middle lobe endobronchial lesion. It was excised and identified as a granular cell tumour. The patient was later weaned off the ventilator and discharged without any complications.
