Abrikossoff tumors are rare benign soft-tissue lesions also known as granular cell tumors (GCT). The histogenesis of these tumors was initially considered to be myogenic but recent studies have revealed a neuroectodermal origin. GCTs of the breast may mimic breast carcinoma based on the triad of radiological, clinical, and pathological features. This hallmark trait lends to the misdiagnosis of these tumors and their subsequent inappropriate management. We report a rare case of a 28-year-old female patient with an accessory axillary breast GCT. The diagnosis, histogenesis, and management of Abrikossoff tumors of the breast are discussed.
