It is most commonly found in the skin, subcutaneous tissue, and oral cavity. GCT typically presents as a painless, slow-growing nodule, often asymptomatic, though malignant cases tend to be larger and may present with pain. We present the case of a 48-year-old female that developed a painless subcutaneous swelling in the right axilla, initially suspected to be a sebaceous cyst. In November 2023, the lesion was excised, and histopathology confirmed a diagnosis of granular cell tumor. This case underscores the necessity for precise histological diagnosis in managing atypical cutaneous and subcutaneous neoplasms like GCT. A multidisciplinary approach, including regular follow-up and advanced diagnostic methods, is key to optimal management and prevention of recurrence or malignant transformation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jscr\/rjag099","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,12]],"date-time":"2026-03-12T15:53:51Z","timestamp":1773330831000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["A rare case of granular cell tumor in axillary cavity: an unusual occurrence"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"2026","author":[{"given":"Mario","family":"Faenza","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Multidisciplinary Department of Medical, Surgical and Dental Sciences, Plastic Surgery Unit, University of Campania \u201cLuigi Vanvitelli\u201d , Piazza Luigi Miraglia 2, 80138 Naples ,","place":["Italy"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrea Maria","family":"Antonetti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Multidisciplinary Department of Medical, Surgical and Dental Sciences, Plastic Surgery Unit, University of Campania \u201cLuigi Vanvitelli\u201d , Piazza Luigi Miraglia 2, 80138 Naples ,","place":["Italy"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Francesco Giuseppe","family":"Filosa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Multidisciplinary Department of Medical, Surgical and Dental Sciences, Plastic Surgery Unit, University of Campania \u201cLuigi Vanvitelli\u201d , Piazza Luigi Miraglia 2, 80138 Naples ,","place":["Italy"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tommaso","family":"Pelella","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Multidisciplinary Department of Medical, Surgical and Dental Sciences, Plastic Surgery Unit, University of Campania \u201cLuigi Vanvitelli\u201d , Piazza Luigi Miraglia 2, 80138 Naples ,","place":["Italy"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Federico","family":"Vampa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Multidisciplinary Department of Medical, Surgical and Dental Sciences, Plastic Surgery Unit, University of Campania \u201cLuigi Vanvitelli\u201d , Piazza Luigi Miraglia 2, 80138 Naples ,","place":["Italy"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Francesca","family":"Pagliuca","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pathology Unit, Mental and Physical Health and Preventive Medicine Department, University of Campania \u201cLuigi Vanvitelli\u201d, Naples , Italy, Piazza Luigi Miraglia 2, 80138, Naples ,","place":["Italy"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-5901-2659","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marcello","family":"Molle","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Multidisciplinary Department of Medical, Surgical and Dental Sciences, Plastic Surgery Unit, University of Campania \u201cLuigi Vanvitelli\u201d , Piazza Luigi Miraglia 2, 80138 Naples ,","place":["Italy"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026041513275842000_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"215","DOI":"10.1007\/BF02078314","article-title":"\u00dcber Myome, ausgehend von der quergestreiften willk\u00fcrlichen Muskulatur","volume":"260","author":"Abrikossoff","year":"1926","journal-title":"Virchow Arch Pathol Anat"},{"key":"2026041513275842000_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"162","DOI":"10.1016\/j.anndiagpath.2010.01.005","article-title":"Morphologic spectrum, immunohistochemical analysis, and clinical features of a series of granular cell tumors of soft tissues: a study from a tertiary referral cancer center","volume":"14","author":"Rekhi","year":"2010","journal-title":"Ann Diagn Pathol"},{"key":"2026041513275842000_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"936","DOI":"10.1002\/1097-0142(196209\/10)15:5&lt;936::aid-cncr2820150509&gt;3.0.co;2-f","article-title":"Granular cell myoblastoma--a misnomer.
