Vulvar granular cell tumours are uncommon neoplasms of neural origin. The clinical presentations, surgical findings and histology of Granular Cell Tumour (GCT) of the vulva in a 50 year old lady is presented. Although rare, this benign lesion must be considered in the differential diagnosis of the labia majora masses, such as Bartholin,s duct cyst, Lipoma, Papilloma, Hydradenoma and Fibroma.

Congenital Granular Cell Tumour (CGCT) is a rare benign lesion and presents in newborn as fibrous mass arising from the alveolus.The prenatal screening of lesion can help in parent counselling, determining the complications, as larger size lesion may interfere with normal delivery and require caesarean section.

Although granular cell tumours have been demonstrated to have a neural origin, they rarely arise in peripheral nerve trunks. We report a case of granular cell tumour of the ulnar nerve in a 51-year-old man. Though dissectable from the nerve, this intraneural tumour showed microscopic involvement of focal nerve fibres. This tumour tended to infiltrate the nerve in the same manner as a neurofibroma.

Granular cell tumours of the larynx are a very rare cause of persistent hoarse or husky voice in children. We report the case of a 13-year-old girl who presented with a three-year history of progressively huskier voice. We discuss the presentation, location and diagnosis of the tumour. In addition, we present a method of surgical treatment of the tumour, involving the hitherto unreported technique of laser excision and frozen section of the lesion.

AbstractGranular cell tumour is a rare benign neoplasm, that can affect many parts of the body, as single or multiple lesions. It is more common in black people and females. Typically it occurs between the fourth and fifth decades of life, with the median age for the laryngeal variety as 36 years. About 30 to 50 per cent occur in the tongue and 30 per cent in the skin.A case of granular cell tumour of the larynx is reported in an eight-year-old girl, presenting with hoarseness of voice. She was successfully treated with local excision of the tumour. This tumour is rare in the larynx where it is more common in males than females although granular cell tumours are found more frequently in females generally.For these reasons the authors suspect that their case, of a laryngeal granular cell tumour occurring in an eight-year-old girl might be the youngest to be reported.

Granular cell tumours are rare neoplasms that may occur anywhere in the body. The most common locations are the oral cavity, skin and subcutaneous tissue, with only 8% of these tumours occurring at a gastrointestinal site. In the specific case of gastric granular cell tumours, only a few cases have been published until today. Granular cell tumours are usually benign; however, some malignant forms have been reported. Both endoscopic and surgical resection represent the treatment of choice. The authors report a new clinical case of a gastric granular cell tumour, treated with laparoscopic surgical resection, describing some endoscopic, imagiological and anatomopathological features.
