Granular cell tumor (GCT) is an infrequent and usually benign neoplasm which is found predominantly in the head and neck region. More than half of the head and neck GCTs originate from the tongue. It is most frequently seen in the fourth to sixth decades of life. We presented an interesting case of a giant GCT in a 2.5-year-old patient. It was located under the anterior tongue, filled the floor of the mouth and was resected by the transoral route.
颗粒细胞瘤(GCT)是一种罕见的、通常为良性的肿瘤,主要发生在头颈部区域。超过半数的头颈部颗粒细胞瘤起源于舌部。它最常见于40至60岁之间。我们报告了一例2.5岁患者的巨大颗粒细胞瘤的有趣病例。肿瘤位于舌前部下方,占据口腔底部,通过经口途径切除。
