Granular Cell Tumours of soft tissue are rare benign neoplasm. They are characterized by nesting pattern of polyhedral cells with abundant granular appearing cytoplasm. They are a rare mesenchymal soft tissue tumours that arise throughout the body and are believed to be of neural origin. These cells are often immunoreactive for the S 100 protein. They often present as asymptomatic, slow-growing, benign, solitary lesions but may be multifocal. 1-2% of cases are malignant and can metastasise. Granular cell can affect any part of the body.
