Multiple granular cell tumors of the oral cavity

Molecular Characterization of Multifocal Granular Cell Tumors

“…More surprising was lack of oral GrCT in our study, as 43 tumors were included, and the oral cavity is one of the most common sites of origin of GrCT overall. Further, multifocal GrCT with oral involvement has been documented 5,21,22. Our findings suggest that multifocal GrCT may less commonly involve the oral cavity compared with solitary lesions.…”

Abrikossoff′s tumor of tongue: Report of an uncommon lesion

“…[4] Normally the size of the lesion is usually less than 3 cm, commonly affecting females in the fourth to sixth decades of life and is rare in children. [5] Histopathologically these lesions present with round or polygonal cells with abundant granular cytoplasm and small nucleus that is eccentrically placed. The cells are arranged in the form of unencapsulated sheets, cords or nests with a syncitial appearance.…”

Granular cell tumor presenting as a tongue nodule: two case reports

“…The tumor commonly develops between the second and sixth decade of life [7] and is rare in children [8]. Clinically, benign GCT manifests as a nodular lesion that is generally asymptomatic and solitary, although cases of multiple lesions have been reported [7,9]. The tumor presents as a pink or yellow well delimited lesion that rarely exceeds 3 cm in diameter, is covered by intact mucosa, and usually involves subcutaneous or submucosal tissues.…”

“…The tumor presents as a pink or yellow well delimited lesion that rarely exceeds 3 cm in diameter, is covered by intact mucosa, and usually involves subcutaneous or submucosal tissues. There are reports of painful symptoms during tooth brushing, consumption of spicy foods, and bite trauma [7]. …”
