title: Multiple cutaneous granular cell tumors in children.
abstract: Multiple cutaneous granular cell tumors are rare in childhood. We cared for two children with 15 and 6 tumors respectively. The tumors were asymptomatic nodules in the skin. Histologically, they consisted of large cells containing granules that were positive on periodic acid-Schiff stain and diastase resistant.
