[Keloidal granular cell tumor].
A 27-year-old man presented with multiple granular cell tumors of the skin. One tumor presented clinically as a dermatofibrosarcoma or a spontaneous keloid. Histologically, both this tumor and another cutaneous lesion showed striking peritumoral fibrosis. Granular cell tumor should be included in the differential diagnosis of keloidal lesions. The tumors should be removed completely and patients then examined regularly to detect new tumors in a timely fashion.
