Abstract

Granular cell tumour also called as Arbikoss off tumour, because it is first reported by Arbikossoff in 1926. It is a rare soft tissue benign neoplasm. Mostly affecting women more than men in the 4 to 6 decades of life, with 70% occurring on dorsum of tongue and 5% involving the buccal mucosa also include other sites like gingiva, hard palate, lips. The clinical presentation of lesion mimics malignant oral squamous cell carcinoma hence a thorough clinical examination and prompt management is necessary.
