Abstract
Granular cell tumors (GCT) are rare mesenchymal tumors belonging to Schwann cell lineage constituting 0.5% of all soft tissue neoplasms. They occur in skin, subcutaneous tissues, mucosal surfaces including within the deeper organs. They are considered unusual and unique neoplasm due to their distinctive pathologic diagnosis. Such a rare case has been discussed here due to unusual age at presentation and in its location.
