Granular cell tumor is a rare benign neoplasm of the skin that accounts for 0.5% of all soft-tissue tumors. Granular cell tumor can affect both sexes and in any age, although it is most common in females. The common locations are the head and neck, the tongue is affected in 25% of cases but any internal organs can be affected such as soft tissue, bronchus, stomach, rectum, anus, biliary ducts. Here, we report a 58-year-old female patient who presented with a 4-year history of a slowly growing mass, with a dimension of 5 × 4 cm on her left waist, diagnosed as a Granular cell tumor at histopathological examination.

Granular cell tumors are uncommon tumors of uncertain etiology. It accounts for approximately 0.5% of all soft tissue tumors. However, the involvement of skin is rare. Only few cases of cutaneous granular cell tumor is reported till date. Here, we present a case of cutaneous granular cell tumor in a 48 years female patient.

Granular cell tumor (GCT) is a Schwann cell related benign neoplasm of soft tissue. GCT is an uncommon entity that occurs in a wide variety of body sites, but it is generally presented in the skin, oral cavity, superficial soft tissue, and respiratory and digestive tracts. Most of the GCTs are benign but clinically and radiologically these may mimic malignancy. Histopathological diagnosis is gold standard for establishing the true nature of the lesion. GCT is most commonly solitary but in about 10% of cases can be multifocal, usually involving various skin and soft tissue sites versus involving various internal sites. Therefore, these can involve skin and soft tissue or submucosa and viscera. GCT is usually benign; however, local recurrence is common due to incomplete removal. Malignant cases are rarely reported in 1-2% of cases. In this study, we report clinical and histopathological findings of a 36-year-old woman with metachronous GCT in breast and scalp. The clinical features raise the question of whether these are metachronous benign GCTs or whether this is establishment of malignant behavior. The aim of this report is to present the histopathological and clinical features of GCT and the diagnostic challenge of differentiating benign from malignant GCT.

Schwannian Origin

Granular cell tumor (GCT) is an uncommon soft tissue tumor of schwannian origin frequent among women and blacks between the second and sixth decades of life. The common location of GCT is the oral cavity, but it can also occur at other sites. Cutaneous lesions constitute about 30% of cases and are characterized by a gradually developing nodular lesion. Due to their subtle clinical appearance and symptomatology, GCTs are often misdiagnosed. We report a case of subcutaneous GCT in the infrascapular region in a 40 year old female which mimicked granular cell dermatofibroma on histopathology. Although a rare entity, Granular cell tumor should be considered in the differential diagnosis of the subcutaneous soft tissue tumours and require histopathological examination along with immunohistochemistry to confirm the diagnosis and differentiate them from other benign and malignant tumors showing granular cell change.

Granular cell tumor or Abrikossoff ’s tumor is an infrequent tumor that can arise in most organs, and especially in the ENT area. It is a usually benign neoplasm, that can lead to a misdiagnose of malignancy. It affects both sex, between the fourth and the sixth decade. We present in this report a case of a 14 years old girl with a slowly growing lesion on the right lateral border of the mobile tongue. The biopsy showed a proliferation of large cells with a granular cytoplasm that expressed two immunohistochemistry markers: CD68 and S100 antibodies. Surgical resection was completed with a one centimeter margin.The rare issue about this case is the age of presentation: the age of the patient is 14, whereas this tumor usually affects adult patients.

Malignant And Benign Tumors

Abrikossoff tumor, also called granular cell tumor (GCT), is a neoplasm of the soft tissues which is most commonly a solitary, painless, and benign tumor. However, 2% of Abrikossoff tumors can be malignant. We report here the case of a 75-year-old male who presented a local recurrence of Abrikossoff tumor of the left thigh. The anatomopathological analysis concluded to a malignant GCT, and the F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography showed multiple lesions in the lymph nodes and bones. The potential conversion to malignancy should alert practitioners because of the extremely poor prognosis. The diagnosis of malignant granular cell tumor should be based on a bundle of clinical and histological features and not solely on histologic features because of the challenging distinction between malignant and benign tumors due to the lack of well-defined criteria for the diagnosis of malignancy. Large size and recurrence are the most important clinical features predicting malignant behavior. Patients with a history of Abrikossoff tumor should be followed closely to monitor recurrence and malignant transformation. The apparent originality of our observation – which could lie in the evolution of a GCT tumor, initially considered as benign, to a malignant form – has to be challenged regarding the issue of classifying some cases according to the classical “benign” and “malignant” dichotomy.

Granular cell tumor is benign neoplasm rarely diagnosed among young children and adolescents. The tumor developed commonly within mucous membrane of upper airways, but precise etiology is not known. Treatment is based on surgical resection of tumor and intense follow up due to risk of recurrence and malignant transformation.

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.
