Abstract

Granular cell tumors (GCT) are uncommon tumors that originate in any part of the body. They have been mainly observed in the skin and soft tissue of the head and neck, and are mostly benign tumors. Urinary bladder GCT are extremely rare tumors. The diagnosis of urinary bladder GCT needs high clinical suspicion by the urologist and the pathologist. We herein report a case of rare granular cell tumor of the urinary bladder in a young woman.
