A 57-year-old woman presented with a 2-year history of a palpable mass in the upper inner quadrant of the right breast. A 1.1-cm, poorly circumscribed, firm tumor nodule was noted, consisting of 2 histologically distinct lesions in the same location, with some areas showing purely well-differentiated invasive ductal carcinoma and others composed of granular cell tumor. In 1 area, the 2 tumors collided and infiltrated each other. The invasive ductal carcinoma was admixed with ductal carcinoma in situ of solid and cribriform types. To our knowledge, this is the first case report demonstrating colocalization of these 2 neoplasms, which raises questions regarding causal relationship. We also review the literature on granular cell tumor of the breast.

D007633 Keratins A class of fibrous proteins or scleroproteins that represents the principal constituent of EPIDERMIS; HAIR; NAILS; horny tissues, and the organic matrix of tooth ENAMEL. Two major conformational groups have been characterized, alpha-keratin, whose peptide backbone forms a coiled-coil alpha helical structure consisting of TYPE I KERATIN and a TYPE II KERATIN, and beta-keratin, whose backbone forms a zigzag or pleated sheet structure. alpha-Keratins have been classified into at least 20 subtypes. In addition multiple isoforms of subtypes have been found which may be due to GENE DUPLICATION.
