The granular cell tumor (GCT) is a rare, benign tumor that most commonly occurs in the oral cavity, particularly
in the anterior part of the tongue.
In this study the experience with 16 patients with a GCT observed in a single Institution will be discussed. Although no radicality has been obtained in most cases, recurrences are rare. In one patient, a recurrence was noted
four years after excision of the primary. In the same patient a pulmonary lesion occurred five years after excision
of the recurrence in the oral cavity, most likely representing an example of metachronous occurrence and not a
distant metastasis.
Since recurrences and metachronous lesions are rare, as are distant metastases, routine follow-up does not seem
warranted in patients treated for a granular cell tumor of the oral cavity. |
