Granular cell tumor in a child's finger.
Granular cell tumor is an uncommon tumor found in the hand. It is probably of Schwann cell origin and may be associated with a peripheral nerve. Although it is often described as a painless tumor of the oral cavity and skin, its presentation in the fingers or hand is often painful--a characteristic not well recognized.
