title: Case for diagnosis.
abstract: Granular cell tumor (Abrikossoff's tumor) is a rare benign disease that preferentially affects the cervicofacial segment. It is usually a solitary nodule that may ulcerate and present pearly infiltration on the borders, while keeping a clean background and a hyperchromic halo. This paper describes the case of an ulcerated granular cell tumor on an unusual location, which reinforces the necessity of including this tumor in the differential diagnosis of nodular-ulcerative skin lesions.
