Background: Granular cell tumor (Abrikossoff’s tumor) is a rare and slow-growing tumor of the soft tissue. Originated from the Schwann cells, it is often a benign tumor, but it can be malignant in 1-3% of the cases. Malignant cases can cause significant morbidity and mortality. It may develop in many anatomic locations, especially in the head and neck region, and also in skin and subcutaneous t...

Congenital granular cell tumor is an uncommon benign oral lesion of uncertain histogenesis that affects the alveolar ridge region newborns. The present study aims to report unusual congenital case, emphasizing clinical, morphological, and immunohistochemical aspects. A 10-day-old newborn patient attended stomatology service with a nodular pedunculated normal color located in anterior superior r...

central granular cell odontogenic tumor) cgcot) of the jaw is an exceedingly rare benign odontogenic neoplasm with 35 reported cases in the literature. among these, very few studies have focused on the cone-beam ct features of cgcot. here, we report a case of an asymptomatic cgcot in a 16-year-old girl and focus on the cone-beam ct features. only 36 cases of this lesion, including this one, hav...

diagnosis and prediction of recovery. Among the various modalities of imaging, spinal ultrasound appears to be very promising and hence is recommended as the first modality of imaging(4). However, it should be remembered that changes are known to occur in the lesion over time and a single ultrasound may not pick up all lesions. Hence, it is not surprising that ultrasound of the cervical spine w...

The congenital granular cell tumor (CGCT) is quite scarce at the infant. The patient, who has a 2-day-old female newborn, was admitted to the Department of Pediatric Dentistry. Baby had a smooth surfaced, non-fixated mass, found on the anterior part of the mandibular alveole, developing from the gingival mucosa. Clinical examination showed a 1 cm × 1 cm × 1.8 cm pedunculated, regular, pink colo...

Congenital granular cell tumor is a rare benign neoplastic growth affecting the gingival mucosa of neonates. Prenatal ultrasound diagnosis has recently come to focus and in spite of several reports on immune-histochemical and other advanced marker studies, the cause and origin of the lesion remains debatable till date. Review of literature on prenatal diagnosis and histopathology along with imm...
