Granular cell nerve tumor in the hand: case report.
Granular cell tumor of a digital nerve is extremely rare; I could identify only 2 previous reports in the literature. I present a case of a granular cell tumor arising from an index digital nerve that was treated with wide resection and nerve graft reconstruction.
