Granular cell tumor is a type of benign tumor that rarely shows malignant findings. It can occur in any part of the body, it is most commonly seen in the tongue. The breast is an extraordinary localization site for granular cell tumor. When it forms a solitary mass with irregular contours in the breast, it can mimic a clinically and radiologically malignant breast tumor, which may lead to unnec...

Granular cell tumors are rare tumors of Schwann cell origin that arise from tissues of neural crest and mesenchymal origin. We report the clinical, radiographic, and pathological features of a pleural-based granular cell tumor in a 60-year-old African American man.

BACKGROUND Granular cell ameloblastoma is a rare histological subtype of ameloblastoma accounting for less than 5% of the total. The characteristic microscopic features of granular cells are attributed to the increased presence of lysosomes in the cytoplasm of the tumour cells. METHODS A case of bone expansion in the mandible of 65 year old patient was examined on the basis of the clinical ex...

Neumann’s Tumour/Congenital Granular Cell Tumour (CGCT)/Granular Cell Epulis Of Infancy is a rare lesion of newborn. It is benign in nature, arising from the alveolar ridge of the gingiva. It is seen more frequently in female neonates. It may cause respiratory and feeding problems.Herewith, we present a case report of CGCT arising from the upper gingival margin of female neonate, treated with s...

Two patients with multiple intrathorcic granular cell myoblastomas are described. In one case multiple tumours were present in the major airways and oesophagus. The patient presented with recurrent pulmonary infections and stridor due to airway obstruction. In the other case dysphagia caused by multiple oesophageal granular cell myoblastomas was the major symptom. Granular cell myoblastoma is a...

Primary tumors of the neurohypophysis and infundibulum are extremely rare. Two types are known: glioma, also known as pilocytic astrocytoma or pituicytoma; and granular cell tumor, also known as choristoma, myoblastoma, or granular cell myoblastoma. Several authors [1-7] suggest that they are a fairly common incidental finding at autopsy, but reports of masses large enough to cause symptoms are...
