Multiple granular cell tumours in a 10-year-old boy - a case report
Abstract
Granular cell tumour is an uncommon benign tumour, usually occurring in the skin as a single nodule. The first case of granular cell tumour was described by Weber in 1854. Subsequently, Abrikossoff established this tumour as a clinical entity in 19261.
Multiple granular cell tumours are very rare, particularly in children. Only a few reports have described the occurrence of multiple granular cell tumours. Here we describe multiple granular cell tumours of the skin in a 10-year-old boy.
