title: [Granular cell tumor of the tongue (Abrikossoff's tumor). Report of a case and review of the literature].
abstract: Granular cell tumor, myoblastoma or Abrikossoff's tumor is an uncommon benign lesion, usually of slow-growing, that shows a predilection for the oral cavity, especially the tongue. Its real etiopathogenia remains still controversial and in it's histogenesis have been implicated several cell types. We report the case of a 18 years old woman with that diagnosis, confirmed in AP, who was operated by removal of the tumoration that was located in the left half-tongue. After 28 months she has not suffered any recurrences.
