Abstract

The granular cell tumor (Abrikossoff’s tumor) in 98% of cases is a benign neoplasm. Their presentation is rare and its histological provenience is controversial; however, the positive detection of protein S-100 suggests a neural origin. A case of a 16 years old patient is reported with histopathological diagnosis of granular cell tumor in the study of surgical resection specimen of lingual nodule.
