Granular cell tumor is a benign neoplasm which frequently occurs in the oral cavity, skin, and subcutaneous tissue. Granular cell tumor of the bladder is an extremely rare disease, and only nine cases have been reported. We present here an additional case of granular cell tumor occurring in the bladder. Unlike the other tumors reported, this tumor extruded into the Retzius' cavity. Therefore, the tumor was successfully excised through extraperitoneal laparoscopic surgery. The patient was free from recurrence 40 months after surgery. The small tumor located in Retzius' cavity could be managed with extraperitoneal laparoscopic surgery.
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.
