Prenatal and postnatal management of congenital granular cell tumours: a case report.
Congenital granular cell tumour is a rare, benign, soft tissue lesion of the oral cavity. Large or multiple lesions can cause mechanical obstruction of the oral cavity and may result in prenatal polyhydramnios, and postnatal feeding and respiratory problems.We present a case in which prenatal diagnostic imaging was used in the successful management of an infant with a large congenital granular cell tumour.
