- Abstract
Granular cell tumour is an uncommon benign soft tissue neoplasm of controversial origin arising virtually at any body site, including the orofacial region. Clinically, oral granular cell tumour appears as a solitary, pink or yellowish coloured, sessile, asymptomatic nodule of less than 2 cm in diameter. Approximately 10% to 20% of patients may present multiple lesions. Microscopically, it consists of proliferation of large polygonal, oval or bipolar cells with abundant, fine or coarsely granular cytoplasm and a small, pale-staining or vesicular nucleus eccentrically located in the cell. Upto 2% of granular cell tumours behave aggressively and may how metastasis. About 2% lesions show malignant behaviour. Here we report a solitary granular cell tumour on the dorsum of tongue with clinical, histopathological, and immunohistochemical details.
