“…There are very few cases of granular cell tumor of the urinary bladder reported in the literature. [1][2][3][4] GCTs show a mild predominance in females and are most often seen between the ages of 30-60 years. The majority of the congenital cases reported are located in the gingiva.…”

“…[1] However, GCTs in other locations (vulva, breast, larynx, esophagus, anal canal, extrahepatic bile ducts, gallbladder, heart, lacrimal gland, lung, parotid gland, tongue and thyroid) have also been reported. [2][3][4][5][6][7] The bladder is a rare location. There are very few cases of granular cell tumor of the urinary bladder reported in the literature.…”

“…2 In eight of the nine tumors, the major portion of the growth is inside of the bladder, and the tumors are managed with partial cystectomy or transurethral surgery. In contrast, the tumor of the present case showed the exophytic growth pattern, and thus the tumor was managed successfully with extraperitoneal laparoscopic surgery.…”

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.

A 33-year-old woman presented with nonspecific, colicky pain of the left lower abdomen. Computed tomography (CT) revealed a 2-cm mass engulfing the mid-left ureter. Ureteroscopy and biopsy revealed normal mucosa, and CT-guided biopsy of the mass was nondiagnostic. The patient underwent laparoscopic exploration. A frozen section taken from the mass revealed a granular cell tumour. We excised the whole involved portion of the ureter and performed end-to-end ureteroureteral anastamosis. The postoperative course was uneventful. Examination of a segment of resected ureter revealed a granular cell tumour diffusely infiltrating the wall of the ureter. There were no features suggesting a malignant phenotype. On follow-up, the patient was found to have developed a stricture at the anastomotic area, which was successfully treated with balloon dilatation. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of a granular cell tumour involving the ureter.
