Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Pathology
  • Neurology

Background:

  • Granular cell tumors (GCTs) are rare neoplasms with an uncertain origin, though a neurogenic source, specifically Schwann cells, is widely accepted.
  • While GCTs can appear in various locations, lingual (tongue) GCTs are frequently encountered, yet literature specifically addressing this localization is limited.

Observation:

  • This report details a clinical case of a granular cell tumor affecting the tongue.
  • The case provides an opportunity to comprehensively review the clinical findings, diagnostic procedures, histological characteristics, and treatment strategies for lingual GCTs.

Findings:

  • The study reviews the clinical presentation, diagnostic modalities, and histological features of granular cell tumors.
  • Management and clinical course of these tumors are analyzed based on the presented case and existing literature.

Implications:

  • This review contributes to a better understanding of lingual granular cell tumors, aiding clinicians in diagnosis and management.
  • Further research into the precise origin and behavior of GCTs, particularly in the tongue, is warranted.
