Multiple granular-cell tumors.
Granular-cell tumors are uncommon dermal tumors. Recent studies favor a neural, Schwann-cell derivation. Approximately 10% of cases have multiple lesions and a like percentage have tender lesions. We report a case of multipe (9) small, dermal tumors in which tenderness was associated with perineural infiltration. The need for therapy is discussed.
