Abstract

Granular cell tumor of the penis is a rare lesion, especially in the pediatric population. We present a case of a 9-year-old white boy with a granular cell tumor of the glans penis, as well as a review of literature. We also discuss clinical management and subsequent implications pertinent to lesion location.
