Granular cell tumour (GCT) is a rare soft tissue lesion which many consider to have malignant potential of yet unknown aetiopathogenesis. Oral GCT lesions may occur in an area of leucoplakia and are predominantly present on the tongue. This case study highlights an uncommon presentation of this condition located on the buccal mucosa and illustrates the need for meticulous evaluation of suspicious lesions. Due to the malignant risk associated with GCT lesions, it is important to make the correct diagnosis and ensure complete surgical excision for these cases. Ongoing long-term follow-up is also indicated to monitor for recurrence or malignancy.
颗粒细胞瘤（GCT）是一种罕见的软组织病变，许多人认为其具有恶性潜能，但发病机制尚不清楚。口腔 GCT 病变可发生在白斑区域，主要位于舌部。本病例研究突出了这种位于颊黏膜的罕见表现，并说明了对可疑病变进行细致评估的必要性。由于 GCT 病变存在恶性风险，因此重要的是要做出正确的诊断，并确保对这些病例进行彻底的手术切除。还需要进行长期的随访，以监测复发或恶性肿瘤的情况。
