Abrikossoff tumor, also known as granular cell tumor, can occur throughout the body but frequently affects the head and neck. Surgical excision is the definitive treatment for this benign neoplasm.

Area of Science:

  • Oral Pathology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Abrikossoff tumor, or granular cell tumor, is a rare neoplasm that can manifest in various body locations.
  • It predominantly affects the head and neck region, with a significant percentage occurring intraorally.

Observation:

  • The tumor typically presents as a swelling covered by normal-appearing mucosa.
  • Histologically, benign forms exhibit polygonal cells with granular cytoplasm, while malignant variants show increased mitotic activity and cellular pleomorphism.

Findings:

  • Diagnosis requires histological examination, though imaging like CT scans can aid in assessment.
  • The case study details a 53-year-old patient with Abrikossoff tumor on the hemipalate.

Implications:

  • Complete surgical excision, including overlying mucosa and periosteum, is the standard treatment.
