Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of perianal granular cell tumor: A case report and literature review.

ABSTRACT: Granular cell tumor (GCT) is a rare soft tissue neoplasm. At present, there is limited information available on the incidence, diagnosis, and treatment of GCTs. Therefore, we perform magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of a perianal GCT case and review the literature of other reported cases to obtain a more comprehensive understanding of the disease. Here, we describe a rare case of perianal GCT in a 53-year-old female who presented with recurrent abdominal pain. Contrast-enhanced MRI demonstrated a well-defined perianal GCT mass, and the diagnosis was confirmed by immunostaining after mass excision. During a 10-month follow-up, there had been no evidence of recurrence. In addition, we discussed the findings of other perianal GCT cases, with regard to their age, gender, MRI analysis results,
