title: Granular cell tumor: a great masquerader.
abstract: Granular cell tumor usually presents as an asymptomatic mass in the skin or subcutaneous tissue, yet it is rarely considered in the clinician's differential diagnosis of such masses. We present a case of granular cell tumor located on an extremity and discuss its characteristic histopathologic findings and aspects of its origin and management.
