Abstract:
Granular cell tumor(myoblastoma) of the bronchus is an uncommon benign tumor that causes pulmonary complications due to obstruction of the airways. The tumor as origianally described by Abrikossoff was considered to be muscular origin, but currently neural derivation is favored. We report a case of granular cell tumor of bronchus of 27-year-old female patient with recurrent pneumonia that is confirmed by bronchoscopic biopsy, and review the liturature.
