Abstract

Granular cell tumors is a rare entity. There is a number of theories on their origin under discussion, but the most accepted is the neurogenic theory that covers the neuroectodermal origin of the tumor. A female patient was detected in outpatient service, who presented with a clinical picture similar to that of this pathology and located in upper gingiva, premolar region. The lesion looked submucosal, raised, painless and rough. After exeresis and biopsy, the diagnosis of granular cell myoblastoma or Abrikossof tumor was confirmed.
