Abstract
A malignant granular cell myoblastoma (third group of Abrikossoff) is reported arising
from the region of the right hip. It recurred and metastasized following inadequate
excision and caused death approximately five years after diagnosis. This is the second
example of this type of tumor metastasizing and is the first example of one in this
location. It is recommended that a somewhat more cautious clinical attitude be entertained
when a diagnosis of granular cell myoblastoma is made. The typical cellular morphology
of the malignant variant has been detailed. If any doubt exists as to its benign character,
then radical rather than conservative therapy should be instituted. Radiotherapy is
not indicated.
