Histopathologic image of granular cell tumor of the skin
Granular cell tumor is a tumor that can develop on any skin or mucosal surface, but occurs on the tongue 40% of the time.
It is also known as Abrikossoff's tumor,[1]granular cell myoblastoma,[1]granular cell nerve sheath tumor,[1] and granular cell schwannoma.[1] Granular cell tumors (GCTs) affect females more often than males.[2]
