“…Most of these GCTs are found in younger women between twenty to forty years of age [ 5 ]. pGCTs are exceedingly rare, in juxtaposition to already rare GCTs, with less than eighty-five cases described since the 1930s [ [6] , [7] , [8] ]. Rarely, a studied pGCT has demonstrated malignancy.…”

Granular cell tumors are often benign growths of the tongue, dermis, and subcutaneous tissues. Rarely, we see production in the pulmonary system. These schwannian and histiocyte origin tumors in the lungs are called pulmonary granulocyte tumors. While granular cell tumors are rare, pulmonary granulocyte tumors are even rarer, with less than eighty-five cases described since the 1930s. Herein, we introduce these rare growths and provide a review of known epidemiological evidence and pathophysiology.

“…In the chest and respiratory tract, Kutuya and Akiduki described an asymptomatic young woman who had an illcircumscribed mass with peripheral infi ltration in the medial right upper lung fi eld on chest radiograph (5). CT showed an intrabronchial mass that was found to be benign with the granules positive for S100.…”

“…In Korea, Seo et al [4] first reported a bronchial GCT arising in the left main bronchus in 2006. It was traditionally termed 'granular cell myoblastoma' until the late 1980s after Abrikossoff suggested that GCT had a myogenic origin [5]. This traditional theory was challenged by subsequent electron microscopic and immunohistochemical studies [1,2].…”

We report a rare case of granular cell tumor arising in the left lower lobe (LLL) bronchus with secondary obstructive change in a 60-year-old male. The patient was found to have a nodule in the LLL on a computed tomography scan, three months prior to his presentation to the Asan Medical Center. Bronchoscopic biopsies revealed a granular cell tumor. After undergoing LLL lobectomy with bronchoplasty, the patient has not experienced any tumor recurrence.
