Summary Background/Aim: The present analysis focuses on examining a case series of eight patients diagnosed with a granular cell tumor located in the oral cavity. Case series: The patients’ clinical states were thoroughly studied, along with the histopathological and immunohistochemical examinations findings. Their surgical treatment and postoperative course are also within the scope of this analysis. Numerous histogenesis theories and the appropriate tumor treatment are mentioned within the article being always in accordance with the relative literature. Conclusions: Oral granular cell tumor is a benign oral disease of possible neural origin commonly located on the tongue. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice. In any case, histological and immunohistochemical examination confirm both the clinical diagnosis and the differential diagnosis between oral squamous cell carcinoma.

Common Location

Clinicopathologic studies on the granular cell tumor, a submucosal benign soft-tissue neoplasm, have not addressed the pediatric and adolescent population. This study of patients from birth to 19 years of age describes clinically and microscopically 10 new cases and combines them with 24 well-documented pediatric cases previously published in the English-language literature. Of the 34, patient ages ranged from 3 to 19 years (mean age 14.5 years) with a female-to-male ratio of 3.3 to 1. The most common location was the tongue (50%) and lips (25%). In neoplasms whose epithelial findings were documented microscopically, a reactive pseudoepitheliomatous (pseudocarcinomatous) hyperplasia of the overlying epithelium occurred in 29%. The recurrence rate was less than 10% following conservative surgical excision. This study reveals that an oral granular cell tumor in the first decade of life is an uncommon event and discusses the importance of differentiating between squamous cell carcinoma and granular cell tumor.

Uncommon Tumor

Granular cell tumors are uncommon, usually benign, soft tissue neoplasms of neural origin. They occur throughout the body; vulval involvement is uncommon and labium majus is the commonest site in vulva. Complete surgical excision is the preferred treatment of choice to prevent recurrence. Here, we present a benign granular cell tumor over the mons pubis of vulva in a 27-year-old woman.

Common Site

Gastrointestinal granular cell tumors are uncommon. The most common site of gastrointestinal granular cell tumor (GCT) is esophagus. We report a case of esophageal GCT incidentally diagnosed by endoscopy. The lesion was evaluated by endoscopic ultrasonography and resected using the endoscopic technique without complication.

The Right

Malignant granular cell tumor (MGCT) is a rare high-grade mesenchymal tumor of Schwann cell origin. MGCTs commonly affect thigh, extremity, and trunk; however, involvement of the abdominal wall is quite rare. It has poor prognosis with 39% mortality rate in 3-year interval. We report a 50-year-old female who had MGCT arising in the anterior abdominal wall and developed massive metastatic deposits in both lungs and in the right inguinal lymph nodes, with prolonged survival for 11 years. A brief review of the literature is presented.
