Abstract:
Objective To investigate the imaging manifestations of granular cell tumor of soft tissue,and to improve its diagno-sis.Methods The clinical,CT and MRI data of 21 granular cell tumors of soft tissue confirmed by surgery and pathology were ret-rospectively analyzed.Results Among 21 cases,there were 8 cases located in skin and subcutaneous soft tissue,3 cases in saddle ar-ea,2 cases in throat,and each 1 case in broad ligament of the uterus,mediastinum,tongue,breast,penis,vagina,ileocecal region and the bladder.The imaging findings were solid masses in 12 cases,cystic and solid masses in 7 cases,and cystic masses in 2 ca-ses.Conclusion Granular cell tumor of soft tissue does not have specific predilection sites and obvious imaging specificity.There-fore,the final diagnosis often relies on pathology.
