Abstract
A 74-year-old female patient presented with a hard breast mass and dimpling with a clinical suspicion of a carcinoma. Histological evaluation revealed a granular cell tumour. Granular cell tumour is a rare neoplasm, mostly benign in origin that may arise in every body site, 5%-15% of cases occur in the breast. It is strongly suggested that granular cell tumours origin is Schwann cells. Clinically, granular cell tumours presentation may mimic mammary carcinoma and their similar features on mammography and ultrasound make it difficult to differentiate between them.

COVID-19-associated Guillain-Barré syndrome: The early pandemic experience.

TL;DR: GBS‐associated COVID‐19 appears to be an uncommon condition with similar clinical and EDx patterns to GBS before the pandemic, and future studies should compare patients with COvid‐19–associated GBS to those with contemporaneous non–COVID‐ 19 GBS and determine whether the incidence of GBS is elevated in those with CO VID‐19.

Factors influencing development of residual stresses during crystallization firing in a novel lithium silicate glass-ceramic.

TL;DR: Development of residual stresses during crystallization firing in lithium silicate glass-ceramics results critical for their mechanical performance and should be therefore avoided by ensuring a homogenous cooling of the structures.

ACPA decreases non-small cell lung cancer line growth through Akt/PI3K and JNK pathways in vitro.

TL;DR: Arachidonoylcyclopropylamide (ACPA) as a synthetic, CB1R-specific ligand decreased proliferation rate in NSCLC cells by WST-1 analysis and real-time proliferation assay (RTCA) as mentioned in this paper.

Malignant granular cell tumor: A look into the diagnostic criteria

TL;DR: A preliminary study showed similar selectivity of two more reproducible criteria in the classification of cases of GCT with potential aggressive behavior, preserving a role for Ki-67 in difficult cases, however, metastases remain the sole definite criterion for malignancy.

Granular cell tumour of the breast

TL;DR: Granular cell tumour of the breast (GCTB) is a rare tumour which arises from Schwann cells which has a distinctive granular eosinophilic cytoplasm associated with typical nuclei and abundant lysosomes and is associated with a good prognosis.
