We describe the first case of granular cell tumor (GCT) of the uvula, which occurred in an 18-year-old woman. GCT is a relatively rare tumor, and is almost always benign. The most frequent locations are the skin and the oral cavity. These tumors usually present clinically as small, slowly growing tumors of characteristic histological appearance. Although its histogenesis is uncertain, our study as well as recent reports support a currently held theory of a neurogenic derivation. The recommended treatment for the granular cell tumor is local excision whenever possible.
我们描述了首例发生在一名18岁女性悬雍垂的颗粒细胞瘤（GCT）。颗粒细胞瘤是一种相对罕见的肿瘤，几乎总是良性的。最常见的发病部位是皮肤和口腔。这些肿瘤临床上通常表现为具有特征性组织学外观的小的、生长缓慢的肿瘤。尽管其组织发生尚不确定，但我们的研究以及近期的报告支持目前关于神经源性起源的理论。颗粒细胞瘤的推荐治疗方法是尽可能进行局部切除。
