Abstract

Granular cell tumors are rare soft tissue neoplasms derived from Schwann cells and are characterized by their infiltrative, non-encapsulated nests and sheets of polygonal cells with fine eosinophilic cytoplasmic granules on histology. Herin, we report a case of a 10-year-old Saudi female who presented to the hospital with multiple asymptomatic skin lesions, the largest located on the right shoulder and left foot. Preoperative workup revealed the absence of liver metastasis, and the patient underwent complete surgical excision successfully. Histopathology revealed ill-defined proliferation of large bland cells with prominent eosinophilic granular cytoplasm and mild epithelial hyperplasia consistent with granular cell tumors. Granular cell tumors are a rare entity that represent only 0.5% of all soft tissue tumors. They have characteristic histological features and can present with both malignant and being features. Due to the rarity of this disease, further research is needed to enhance our understanding and improve recognition in future practice.
