RESUMO
Granular cell tumour is a rare neoplasm that can occur in various sites. This report describes a 48-year-old female with a malignant granular cell tumour originating from the cervical sympathetic nerve trunk, who presented with hyperaesthesia of the left shoulder. The tumour had a maximum diameter of 86 mm and involved adjacent tissues directly. Histopathologically, it showed considerable variation in the size and shape of nuclei, with occasional mitosis and an abundant granular cytoplasm. Immunohistochemically, the tumour reacted positively for S-100 protein and neuron-specific enolase, indicating its neural origin. Following total local excision of the lesion, the patient has been well without recurrence.
