dc.description.abstractenglish	Objectives: Analyze clinic and epidemiological aspects of all Oral Granular cell tumor (GCT) during a 5-year period in a Brazilian population. Study design: clinical and treatment outcome data of patients with oral GCT seen at the Division of Stomatology, School of Dentistry, Federal University of Ceara, Brazil, between January 2001 and December 2005 were reviewed. Results: during the analyzed period, 6231 oral lesions were collected from files of different anatomo-pathology laboratories situated in the state of Ceara, Brazil. Of all cases, only 12 of GCT were diagnosed. The lesion was more common in female patients, with a mean age of 40.8 years, occurring mainly in tongue. Conclusion: Oral GCT is a rare and infrequent lesion in this population, and affects more female in the third, fourth a fifth decade of life. Clinical significance: Although it is a rare occurrence in the oral cavity, the clinician must know about its occurrence and should include GCT in the differential diagnose of certain lesions especially when situated in tongue	es
