“…10 Nowadays, the preferred designation for this neoplasm is GCT. [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31] GCT may arise in many parts of the body, including skin, digestive tract, bronchi, trachea, female genitalia, breast, skeletal muscle, peripheral nerves, orbit, and pituitary stalk. 10 GCT rarely affects the orbit, and a literature survey disclosed only 39 reported cases.…”

Primary granular cell tumor of the orbit is a rare type of neoplasm. The tumor is frequently associated with extraocular muscles, and eye motility limitation is an unavoidable complication after its surgical removal. The objective of the present article is to review the literature on primary granular cell tumors of the orbit and to report a case of this uncommon neoplasia. Granular cell tumor is a benign lesion encountered in most cases (58.3%) in the inferior aspect of the orbit. Extraocular muscle involvement occurs in 72.2% of the patients, and diplopia is present in 77.1% of the cases. The inferior and medial recti are the most affected muscles (38.5% and 26.9%, respectively). Surgical excision is the only modality of treatment, but diplopia persists in 73.3% of the cases. In conclusion, granular cell tumor is a benign lesion but involves a high rate of extraocular muscle morbidity.

Granular cell tumour is a rare soft tissue tumour that can occur in any part of the body, but seldom in ocular adnexa. It usually behaves in a benign fashion. We report a case of a 54-year-old man with a well-demarcated, solitary, slow-growing orbital tumour which lead to significant ocular symptoms. The case was a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge due to its location and difficulty in obtaining tissue for a histological diagnosis. Surgical biopsy attempts were made but they all failed to uncover the true identity of the lesion. A definitive diagnosis was revealed with complete surgical excision of the tumour, which was challenging due to its size and close association with rectus muscle. This case has highlighted that orbital granular cell tumour may result in significant ocular symptoms. Adequate exposure to the anatomical site is the key to obtaining diagnosis and complete excision of a lesion.
