Granular cell tumor: a clinicopathological study.

ABSTRACT

Granular cell tumor is a relatively uncommon tumor of doubtful histogenesis. Nineteen cases of granular cell tumor reported in the department of Pathology, Kasturba Medical College, Mangalore, were analysed. Majority of tumors were seen in third to fifth decade mainly in females. The occurrence in rarer sites like caecum, of which only two cases have been so far reported tempted us to publish this study.
