Pathological analysis demonstrated a granular cell tumor that was strongly positive for protein S-100 and negative for cytokeratin AE1-AE3 and CEA.\nCONCLUSIONS: Granular cell tumors are very frequent in the head and neck, but rare in the genitourinary region and are asymptomatic. Histological diagnosis is simple but should be confirmed by protein S-100 staining, which is positive in all cases. Treatment is by simple excision of the lesion. Tumor recurrence and metastasis have been reported, therefore follow-up is necessary.","tracks":[]}
