Granular Cell Tumour, Intramuscular Submandibular Location in a 10 Year Old Child
1Department of Pathology, Deen Dayal Upadhyay Hospital, Delhi, India.
Abstract:
Granular cell tumours (GCT) are rare neoplasms and were first described in 1926 by Abrikossoff. These tumours occur in adults and are reported mainly in oral mucosae, skin and subcutaneous tissue. Herein, we present a case of GCT in the submandibular region in a 10 year old girl. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) can be challenging, as there can be many overlapping features with other entities, especially if located in an unusual location. We present an atypical presentation with cytohistological correlation.

Tumor Progression
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...
The Retinoblastoma Gene
The first-ever tumor suppressor gene called Rb was identified in retinoblastoma - a rare eye tumor in children. In inherited forms of the disease, a child inherits one defective copy of the Rb gene, which predisposes them to retinoblastoma. However,...
