    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Granular cell tumors can occur in multiple sites, including the oral cavity, and are often misdiagnosed as squamous cell carcinoma. Differentiating these tumors is crucial for appropriate treatment, which involves wide surgical excision.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Granular cell tumors (GCTs) are rare neoplasms of disputed origin, often presenting in the head and neck region.
    • Accurate diagnosis is essential for appropriate management, as GCTs can mimic other malignancies.

    Observation:

    • This review analyzed eleven cases of granular cell tumors.
    • Multiple sites of involvement were observed in two cases, both initially misdiagnosed as squamous cell carcinoma.
    • The most frequent site was subcutaneous tissue (9/11), followed by the tongue (3/11) and parotid gland (1/11).

    Findings:

    • GCTs exhibit a predilection for females (8/11) and Black individuals (7/11).
    • Oral cavity involvement occurred in two cases, highlighting the potential for misdiagnosis with squamous cell carcinoma.
    • Subcutaneous tissue is the most common location for GCTs.

    Implications:

    • Emphasizes the critical need to differentiate GCT from squamous cell carcinoma due to differing treatment and prognosis.
    • Highlights the importance of considering GCT in the differential diagnosis of oral cavity lesions.
    • Recommends simple wide surgical excision as the primary treatment modality for granular cell tumors.
