Granular cell tumor: a great masquerader.
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.
