title: Granular cell tumor of the parotid: a case report and literature review.
abstract: Granular cell tumors are relatively uncommon soft tissue lesions that originate in Schwann's cells. Although these tumors can occur at any site, their presence in the parotid gland is very unusual. This article describes one such case in a 48-year-old woman, followed by a brief review of the literature on this subject.
