congenital granular cell tumor (cgct) is a unique benign tumor of soft tissue in newborns, which usually occurs on the anterior alveolar mucosa of the jaws. it is 8 to 10 times more prevalent in females than males. we present a case report of a 3-month-old female infant, who had a solitary mass on the anterior mandibular alveolar ridge. the lesion, which was histologically a congenital granular...

central granular cell odontogenic tumor) cgcot) of the jaw is an exceedingly rare benign odontogenic neoplasm with 35 reported cases in the literature. among these, very few studies have focused on the cone-beam ct features of cgcot. here, we report a case of an asymptomatic cgcot in a 16-year-old girl and focus on the cone-beam ct features. only 36 cases of this lesion, including this one, hav...

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...

Congenital epulis is a very rare benign soft-tissue tumor of uncertain histogenesis, which is also known as “gingival granular cell tumor of the newborn”. It occurs almost exclusively as a single tumor along the alveolar ridge of the maxilla in newborn females. Although congenital epulis is strikingly similar to the more common adult granular cell tumor histologically, in contrast to the latter...

adenoid ameloblastoma with dentinoid is a rare odontogenic tumor. granular cell ameloblastoma also is a less common histological subtype of ameloblastoma. in this report, the patient was a 31‑year‑old male. the lesion was located in the right mandible and was unicystic with well‑defined borders. the tumor tissue was showing a combination of follicular, plexiform, and desmoplastic patterns of am...

perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (pecoma) is composed of hmb45+ epithelioid cells with clear to granular cytoplasm and perivascular distribution. we describe a uterine pecoma in a 33 years old woman where tumor cells were positive for hmb45 but negative for epithelial markers and negative or positive for smooth muscles markers.
