Background: Granular cell tumor is a benign neurogenic tumor of the subcutaneous and submucosal area. The tongue is the most affected site of the oral cavity. The clinical presentation is non-specific and manifests as a submucosal nodule or mass. Because of its non-specific presentation, a definitive diagnosis an only be established after a histopathological examination and an immunohistochemical study to search for a neurogenic origin. Methods: We report the case of a 48-year-old man who was referred for the management of a nodular lesion on the tip of his tongue that had increased in size over the previous three months. Results: A complete surgical excision was performed for the histopathological exam, and an immunohistochemical study confirmed a strong expression of S100 and CD68. A diagnosis of granular cell tumor was confirmed. There was no recurrence et three years follow-up. Conclusion: the GCT is a rare tumor of nervous origin of the oral mucosa, it is non-specific in expression, with a good prognosis after complete excision. the histological and immunohistochemical diagnosis of the lesion is essential for the diagnosis.

Granular cell tumour also called as Arbikoss off tumour, because it is first reported by Arbikossoff in 1926. It is a rare soft tissue benign neoplasm. Mostly affecting women more than men in the 4 to 6 decades of life, with 70% occurring on dorsum of tongue and 5% involving the buccal mucosa also include other sites like gingiva, hard palate, lips. The clinical presentation of lesion mimics malignant oral squamous cell carcinoma hence a thorough clinical examination and prompt management is necessary. Hereby we present a uncommon case of granular cell tumour involving the right buccal mucosa. Its surgical excision, and closure with collagen membrane including follow up.

“…If carefully analyzed, besides the pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia, this tumor is composed by polygonal cells with eosinophilic granular cytoplasm and small nuclei (4). Invasion is commonly seen, however there is no atypia (8). …”

BackgroundGranular cell tumor (GCT) is an uncommon benign tumor founded in any part of the body but mainly in the tongue. Extra-tongue oral granular cell tumor (ETOGCT) is rare with few cases reported. Here we describe seven cases of oral GCT located in sites other then the tongue and discuss histopathological and immunohistochemical differences between differential diagnoses.Material and MethodsWe retrieved all cases diagnosed with oral granular cell tumor, from the Oral Pathology Service at the School of Dentistry/ University of São Paulo, and excluded the ones sited in the tongue. Immunohistochemical staining anti-S100 was also performed.ResultsThe presented cases of Extra-tongue Oral Granular Cell Tumor (ETOGT) are composed by granular cells with intimately association with the adjacent tissue. Atypia and mitoses were not seen, and in most cases, the typical pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia was not observed.ConclusionsThe importance of an adequate attention is to avoid misdiagnoses, since ETOGT is rare and the tricking histopathological findings could induce to it. All the cases can be differentiated from the tumors that has a granular cell proliferation through a morphological analysis and when needed, immunohistochemistry stain. Key words:Abrikossoff`s tumor, granular cell tumor, oral cavity.
