Abstract: Given a group $G$, we write $g^G$ for the conjugacy class of $G$ containing the element $g$. A theorem of B. H. Neumann states that if $G$ is a group in which all conjugacy classes are finite with bounded size, then the commutator subgroup $G^{\prime }$ is finite. We establish the following results. Let $K,n$ be positive integers and $G$ a group having a $K$-approximate subgroup $A$. If $|a^G|leqn$ for each $ainA$, then the commutator subgroup of $langle{A}^{G}angle$ has finite $(K,n)$-bounded order. If $|[g,a{]}^G|leqn$ for all $ginG$ and $ainA$, then the commutator subgroup of $[G,A]$ has finite $(K,n)$-bounded order.
