Abstract

Granular cell tumor is a relatively uncommon benign tumor which usually occurs in the oral cavity and the skin.In the oral cavity, the granular cell tumor most frequently occurs in the tongue and occasionally occurs in the buccal mucosa or lips.We experienced a case of granular cell tumor of the tongue in a 37 year-old male. Clinically a fibroma was suspected.The lesion was extirpated and diagnosed histopathologically as a granular cell tumor.There was no evidence of recurrence in the patient 1 year and 10 months after removal.
