“…In Japan, 53 CaSeS [3,6,13,[27][28][29][30][31][32][33] of oral granular cell tumor, including the present case, have been reported, and 55 tumors have been removed, since two cases were multiple. Seventy three percent, or about three fourths, of the tumors were located in the tongue, and women were found to be affected almost three times as often as men (Table 1).…”

Granular cell tumor of the tongue in a 29-year-old woman is reported including details of studies using electron microscopy and immunohistochemistry. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells showed moderate positivity for S-100 protein. Electron microscopically, basal lamina, angulate bodies, myelin-like figures and axon-like structures were observed in the tumor. These findings may indicate that this tumor is a lesion of Schwann cell origin. The Japanese literature on oral granular cell tumor is also reviewed and discussed.

Reibel, J., Wewer, U. & Albrechtsen, R. The. pattern of distribution of laminin in neurogenic tumors, granular cell tumors, and nevi of the oral mucosa. Acta path. microbiol. immunol. xand. Sect. A, 93: 41-47, 1985.Oral tumors of presumably neuroectodermal origin were stained with anti-laminin antibody by a double layered immunofluorescence technique. A marked positive staining for laminin was found in neurofibromas and neurilemmomas although the pattern of laminin distribution was slightly different. Accentuated staining was seen in Verocay bodies. In granular cell myoblastomas (GCM), small groups of tumor cells were encircled by laminin-positive material, whereas individual tumor cells were unstained. In nevi, diffusely spread nevus cells were surrounded by a rim of laminin, whereas when arranged in nests whole groups of cells were encircled by laminin as seen in the GCM. Ordinary oral fibromas included as controls were negative except for the expected positive staining of basement membranes normally occurring in the tissues. Immunohistohcemical demonstration of laminin seems to be a valuable aid in differential diagnosis of soft tissue tumors and may provide useful information about the pathogenesis of various lesions.
