Congenital granular cell tumor is a rare tumor which arises from alveolus. We describe a case diagnosed and treated in a neonate. Twenty-eight cases have been reported in Japan, with a male:female ratio of 1:6.3. The location of the tumor was the mandible in 13, the maxilla in 15 and multiple in 1. The left side incisor region was the most common site.

Congenital granular cell tumor (CGCT) is a rare benign neoplastic growth of the anterior maxilla of neonates. The tissue origin of this lesion whether it is from neural or muscular; is still debatable although many immunohisto chemical markers studies have been documented. We present a case report of a female neonate with a large CGCT along with a brief review of literature.

A 4-month-old infant presented with asymptomatic soft nodules on his right forearm, which had developed since birth. On the suspicion of nevus lipomatosus superficialis (NLS), biopsy was performed. Histopathologic findings showed monomorphic polygonal cells with abundant granular cytoplasm. Immunohistochemical stains for CD68 and vimentin were strongly positive, but were negative for S-100 prot...

Congenital granular cell tumor (CGCT), or congenital epulis, is a very uncommon benign soft tissue lesion that usually arises from the alveolar mucosa of neonates and may cause respiratory and feeding problems. We report a case of a 3-day-old female newborn, who presented an intraoral tumor mass which was protruding from her mouth, and compromising feeding. Under general anesthesia, the lesion ...

INTRODUCTION Congenital oral granular cell tumour of the newborn is an uncommon benign tumour of uncertain origin. The typical clinical appearance is of a single nodule occurring on the anterior maxillary ridge. In 10% of cases there are multiple lesions. The occurrence of congenital epulis in non-Caucasians is rare. CASE PRESENTATION Two firm pedunculated nodular lesions were noticed in the ...

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.
