Granular cell tumor involving the axillary nerve: an unusual occurrence

Cutaneous granular cell tumor: case report

Background: Granular cell tumor (Abrikossoff’s tumor) is a rare and slow-growing tumor of the soft tissue. Originated from the Schwann cells, it is often a benign tumor, but it can be malignant in 1-3% of the cases. Malignant cases can cause significant morbidity and mortality. It may develop in many anatomic locations, especially in the head and neck region, and also in skin and subcutaneous t...

Prenatal Diagnosis of Granular Cell Tumor

Congenital granular cell tumor (GCT) is a relatively rare intraoral benign tumor, approximately 200 cases of which have been reported in the neonatal period worldwide. The newborn infant may have feeding problems and respiratory difficulties due to airway obstruction. This lesion may be diagnosed by prenatal ultrasonography and simple resection is mostly required. We report a case of an adult t...

Intraorbital Granular Cell Tumor Involving in Medial Rectus and Optic Nerve

Herpes zoster involving penis and scrotum: an unusual occurrence.

Herpes zoster is an infectious vesicular skin rash in a dermatomal distribution caused by Varicella zoster virus. It occurs very uncommonly in sacral dermatomes. We describe a case with rash on penis and scrotum due to involvement of S2 dermatome in a young male. The disease followed an uneventful course and the patient recovered completely without any sequelae or complications. This case is be...

Granular cell tumor of the ulnar nerve: MR neurography characterization.

The authors report an unusual case of ulnar neuropathy caused by granular cell tumor. The report describes the anatomic 3 Tesla MR Neurography and functional diffusion tensor findings of the case, which was subsequently confirmed on surgical excision and histopathology.
