Multiple cutaneous granular-cell tumors.
A 54-year-old woman presented with subcutaneous nodules and a prior diagnosis of multiple, cutaneous granular-cell tumors. The first case of granular cell tumor was reported in 1854. It remains a rare tumor, which is most commonly seen in women. One-half are usually located in the head and neck region, mostly on the tongue. Approximately one third are cutaneous and 25 percent of the cases occur as multiple lesions.
