 Abstract

Granular Cell tumor (GCT), also known as Abrikossoff's tumor, is a relatively uncommon benign neoplasm that affects the tongue. It typically presents as a solitary, asymptomatic, sessile nodule on the dorsum of the tongue. The histogenesis of this tumor is uncertain, and it's unclear whether it originates from neural or muscular tissue. In this report, we describe the case of a 29-year-old male patient who presented with a nodular swelling on the tip of the dorsal surface of his tongue. Initially diagnosed as a traumatic fibroma, a biopsy revealed that the lesion was, in fact, a granular cell tumor.
