Adjuvant radiotherapy for recurrent granular cell tumor.
Publication/Presentation Date

Abstract
Granular cell tumor (GCT) is a rare neoplasm traditionally treated with surgical excision alone. However, recurrences and metastases of GCT have been reported. The authors review the literature and report the case of a 33-year-old black woman with a large, recurrent GCT. The patient was treated with adjuvant radiation therapy and followed without evidence of recurrence. Adjuvant radiotherapy may have a role in the treatment of certain GCT thought, by clinical or pathologic criteria, to be at high risk for recurrence or metastasis, especially in those cases where extensive surgical excision would produce unacceptable morbidity.
