Introduction And Importance: Pulmonary granular cell tumor (GCT) is a very rare neoplasm that originates from Schwann cells.
Case Presentation: Our case report describes a symptomatic benign pulmonary GCT found during follow-up CT imaging and was eventually excised with a good outcome.
Clinical Discussion: GCT are mostly benign tumors. Pulmonary GCTs mostly occur in the endobronchial region and can be symptomatic or discovered incidentally.
Conclusion: Treatment options for pulmonary GCT are either conservative treatment or surgical resection depending on the size of the tumor and the presence of tracheal wall invasion.
