Non-Neural (S-100 Negative) Bronchial Granular Cell Tumor Causing Acute Respiratory Failure. (2nd January 2020) - Chen, Stephanie Y
Abstract: Introduction : Endobronchial granular cell tumors are uncommon in the pediatric population. Case report : A 9-year-old female presented with respiratory failure due to an endobronchial tumor. After debulking and diagnosis, she underwent thoracotomy with right upper lobe resection and bronchoplasty. Pathology demonstrated an endobronchial S-100 negative granular cell tumor, which to our knowledge, is the first such report in the literature. Conclusion : Endobronchial granular cell tumors may cause obstructive respiratory failure, are amenable to surgery, and may be S-100 negative.
