Abstract

Granular cell tumor (GCT) is an uncommon benign neoplasm commonly seen in head and neck region, oral cavity, especially the tongue. The lesion generally presents as a small, poorly circumscribed, solitary nodule, whereas 10-15% of patients have lesions at multiple sides. We represent here a case with well circumscribed cystic lesion in tongue.

Özet

Granüler hücreli tümör (GHT); çoğunlukla baş-boyun bölgesi ile özellikle dilde olmak üzere oral kavitede yerleşim gösteren nadir görülen iyi huylu bir neoplazmdır. Lezyon genellikle sınırları belirsiz, küçük soliter bir nodül şeklinde görülmekle birlikte , hastaların %10-15’inde vücudun değişik bölgelerinde bulunabilmektedir. Bu çalışmada, dilde sınırları belirgin kistik lezyon olarak gözlenen GHT’lü bir olgu sunduk.
