The granular cell tumor, also known as Abrikossoff's tumor, is a rare entity. It was first described by Abrikossoff in 1926. It is a ubiquitous site tumor with a predilection for the cervico-facial region. Their pathogenesis has long been debated. After initially proposing a striated muscle origin, recent studies are in favor of a Schwannian neurogenic origin. Malignant forms have been reported in the literature, with mainly lymph node and pulmonary metastases. We report a case of a malignant granular cell tumor of mandibular localization.
