title: [Granular-cell tumor of the oral cavity (a case report and statistical notes)].
abstract: The granular cell tumor is an uncommon benign lesion that may occur anywhere in the body presenting as a single nodular lesion. A case is reported with bilateral palatal lesions. This case, in authors' opinion, is exceptional both for its localization, near palatine foramina, suggesting a neural crest tissue origin, and bilaterality and symmetry pointing out its plurifocal potentiality.
