Granular cell tumors are rare tumors, usually located subcutanesously or intramucosal. Most frequent presentation is in the head and neck region especially in the tongue, 5-15% of the cases are vulvar. Originating from Scwhan cells, these tumors are usually benign and only 1-3% of the cases have malign behaviour. As these tumors have an agressive course and do not respond to chemo-radiation, to mention the importance of early diagnosis we present this case. Granüler hücreli tümörler, sıklıkla subkutan dokuda veya mukozada yerleşim gösterir ve nadir görülür. En sık baş-boyun bölgesinde ve dilde yerleşimlidir, %5-15 oranında vulvada görülür. Schwan hücrelerinden köken aldığı bilinen bu tü-mörler, genellikle benign olup %1-3 oranda malign davranış gösterirler. Malign granüler hücreli tümörlerin agresif seyirli olması ve kemoterapi-radyoterapiye cevap vermemesi nedeni ile erken tanının önemini vurgulamak için bu olgu sunuldu.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
