Granular cell tumor is a rare neoplasm with benign behavior. It usually occurs in the fourth to sixth decade of life as a solitary, slow growing lesion with a good prognosis. Its histogenesis is probably of neural origin, being positive for S-100 and Neuron-Specific Enolase. We demonstrate an unusual location in the axillary region, the obstacles to reaching the diagnosis since it can be confused with other malignancies, and the essential elements for clinically suspecting benign lesions of this type.

Keywords : Granular cell tumor; breast; axillary; Schwann.
