Herein, we detail a multidisciplinary approach and sequential treatment for two infants with congenital granular cell epulis (CGCE). Ultrasonic examinations at 34 weeks of gestation revealed prominent oral masses in both fetuses. To devise a carefully considered treatment strategy, a comprehensive multidisciplinary consultation including oral and maxillofacial surgeons, pediatricians, obstetricians, and anesthesiologists was convened. Following cesarean sections, the lesions were successfully removed, measuring approximately 30 × 15 mm and 30 × 20 mm in size, respectively. Immunohistochemical analysis showed that vimentin was positive, S-100 protein was negative, and NSE protein and CD68 protein were negative. These findings underscore the importance of prenatal diagnosis of congenital granular cell epulis for the effective management of these rare benign conditions.

BACKGROUND: Granular cell tumor (GCT) of the breast (GCTB) is a rare neoplasm that can exhibit malignant characteristics both clinically and radiologically. This tumor can also coexist and colocalize with breast carcinoma.
METHODS: We present a patient with this uncommon tumor and discuss the diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in order to further the knowledge of GCTB and prevent misdiagnosis and overtreatment. The characteristics of the tumor, methods of diagnosis, therapy and postoperative pathological outcomes were analyzed, and relevant literatures of GCTs were reviewed. The patient underwent surgery after core needle biopsy, and the excised neoplasm was sent for pathological examination. Histological analysis revealed nests of cells with abundant pink granular cytoplasm, confirming the diagnosis of GCTB.
CONCLUSIONS: As manifestations of GCT and malignancy can mimic each other, a careful histological examination is essential before major surgery. Treatment consisting of complete excision with close clinical follow-up is recommended.

Granular cell tumor (GCT) is a relatively rare tumor that develops in soft tissues at various sites in the body, and GCT originating in the bronchus is rather rare. Here, we reported a case of primary GCT of the bronchial to improve the understanding of this disease.
颗粒细胞瘤（granular cell tumors，GCT）是一种可发生在全身多处罕见的软组织肿瘤，原发于支气管的GCT更为罕见。现报道1例原发于支气管的GCT患者，以提高对本病的认知水平。.

Granular cell tumors are extremely uncommon soft tissue neoplasms that mostly occur in the head and neck regions. Granular cell tumors are generally benign, asymptomatic, and rarely involve the median nerve. Due to the lack of awareness about granular cell tumors, they are easily misdiagnosed and mistreated in primary hospitals. Here, we report a giant atypical granular cell tumor located on the median nerve, approximately 12 cm in size, with unusual symptoms of median nerve damage. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a fusiform mass that was hyperintense on T2-weighted images and iso-hypointense on T1-weighted images. The mass was subsequently biopsied and found to be a granular cell tumor. The tumor was resected, and a pathological examination was performed. Pathological examination revealed necrotic foci, abundant eosinophilic granules, pustular ovoid bodies, and multiple mitoses. Immunohistochemical staining revealed that the tumor cells were positive for S-100, CD68, SMA, SOX-10, Calretinin, and TFE3. The integrated diagnosis was an atypical granular cell tumor. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of an atypical granular cell tumor involving the median nerve. Furthermore, we comprehensively reviewed the existing literature to provide a concise summary of the diagnostic criteria, imaging findings, and pathological features of granular cell tumors. Given the high recurrence and metastasis rates of this disease, granular cell tumors of the median nerve should be considered when a patient presents with symptoms of median nerve impairment. The diagnosis of atypical granular cell tumors relies on pathological examination. In addition, extensive resection and long-term follow-up are necessary to improve prognosis.

An 8-year-old child was admitted to our ENT department for a year because of a hoarse voice. An endoscopic examination displayed that a cystic, solid lesion can be seen in the right subglottis. The lesion was removed using a CO2 laser under general anesthesia. Postoperative histopathology confirmed granular cell tumor (GCT), S-100(+), vimentin (+), and SOX-10(+). GCT, also known as the Abrikossoff tumor, is a rare benign tumor that rarely occurs in the larynx, particularly in children. This case report emphasizes that considerable attention should be given to the differential diagnosis of the laryngeal granulosa cell tumor. Given the recurrence risk of GCT, long-term postoperative follow-up is necessary.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the clinicopathological features of maxillofacial granular cell tumors (GCT) with the aid of immunohistochemical staining.
METHODS: Seven cases of maxillofacial GCT were retrospectively collated, and the microscopic morphology of maxillofacial GCT was analyzed. The expression of S-100, neuron-specific enolase (NSE), SOX-10, CD68, actin, desmin, and Ki-67 in GCT was detected by immunohistochemical staining. The cases were observed in the follow-ups after clinical treatment.
RESULTS: All seven GCT tumors lacked envelopes and were poorly defined. Microscopically, the sizes of the tumor cells were large and appeared with inconspicuous cell membranes, forming a syncytium-like appearance. The cytoplasm was filled with characteristic eosinophilic granules. The immunohistochemical results showed that six cases were NSE-positive, five cases were S-100-positive, seven cases were CD68-positive, five cases were SOX-10-positive, one case was actin-positive, and seven cases were desmin-negative. The Ki-67 index did not exceed 5% in all cases. In the follow-up sessions, none of the six cases presented a recurrence.
CONCLUSIONS: Maxillofacial GCT has a characteristic histological structure. Immunohistochemical S-100, CD68, and other indicators can assist in diagnosis, and the prognosis is good after clinical resection.
