Dr. Vidya Gowdappa Doddawad, Dr. Usha Hegde, Dr. Sreeshyla Hs
Abstract :
A granular cell tumor (GCT) is an uncommon benign neoplasm affecting any part of the body, with a great percentage of lesions being reported to occur intraorally. One such case of GCT on the lateral margin of the tongue in a 17 year old girl is being reported. The histopathological diagnosis of GCT was confirmed by immunohistochemistry findings. The tumor was positive for S–100, NSE, Vimentin, CD–68 and negative for SMA and Desmin which helped us not only in arriving at the final diagnosis of GCT but also helped us to identify the origin of the tumor. Surgical resection of the tumor with wide margin was done and regular follow up of the patient for 2 years has not shown any evidence of recurrence and metastasis.
