Description

Granular cell tumor （GCT） is a rare benign neoplasm of neural origin that can arise in any part of the body. Although approximately 50％ of all cases are seen in the head and neck region, GCT arising from the submandibular region is quite rare.<br>We report the case of a 41-year-old woman in whom an elastic hard mass was found in the submandibular region. Computed tomography scan showed a spindle-shaped mass along the platysma. The tumor was surgically removed. The histopathological diagnosis was GCT. We discuss the course of treatment and surgical results, with a review of the literature.
