Unusual Granular Cell Tumor of the Trachea Coexisting With Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma and Masquerading as Tracheal Invasion of Recurred Thyroid Carcinoma: A Case Report

摘要

This was an extremely rare case of unusual granular cell tumor of the trachea coexisting with recurrent papillary thyroid carcinoma. We initially misdiagnosed this patient as having tracheal invasion from recurrent thyroid carcinoma even after a computed tomography scan and fine-needle aspiration cytology. Clinicians should be aware of the possibility of granular cell tumor of the trachea occurring simultaneously with papillary thyroid carcinoma.
