CURRA, Marina et al. Granular cell tumor: report of two cases. RPG, Rev. pós-grad. [online]. 2011, vol.18, n.4, pp. 266-268. ISSN 0104-5695.

The granular cell tumor (GCT) is an uncommon benign neoplasm of soft tissue. The sites most commonly affected are the dorsum and lateral border of the tongue. Clinically it presents as a nodular lesion, firm to palpation, well-defined with slow-growing. The aim of this study is to report two cases of GCT showing its clinical and histopathological aspects, and discuss the diagnosis and management of each case.
