Özet

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.
