Abstract
In our institution, two cases of granular cell tumor of the breast described in this document were observed. Both share a similar clinical-radiological aspect, very similar to a carcinoma; so, in both cases, the VTIQ study was carried out. In one of the cases, after VTIQ study, the characteristics of malignancy were reinforced, however, the other presented characteristics that diminished its suspect. This difference in behavior can be explained by peculiarities in the histopathological characteristics. Despite the small number of cases, this study may show that the VTIQ was not enough to reduce the suspicion of malignancy in these lesions, with only the biopsy of the lesions remaining the only reliable diagnostic method.
