Granular cell tumors are uncommon, and are usually benign neoplasms that can mimic malignancy on breast imaging tests. These tumors can originate anywhere in the body and the breast accounts for only a few cases of all granular cell tumors. ⋯ Core needle biopsy was performed for tissue diagnosis and was consistent with granular cell tumor that was confirmed in the histopathological report of the surgical specimen following a breast lumpectomy. Given the rarity of this tumor, we present this case to highlight this diagnostic hypothesis, that can be challenging and frequently confused with breast carcinoma.

Drug-induced thrombocytopenia is a common entity in clinical practice. However, having in consideration the severity of the case, it becomes imperative to distinguish non-immune thrombocytopenia from the po-tentially life-threatening immune-mediated forms. The authors report a rare clinical case of a 79-year-old man presenting with purpuric rash and gingival hemorrhage while on fenofibrate treatment (sixth day). ⋯ Drug-associated thrombocytopenia is reported by manufacturers as an extremely rare event. This is the second case report of immune throm-bocytopenia to fenofibrate. The first event was reported for publication in 2015.
