Granular cell tumor is a relatively rare soft tissue benign tumor. In this paper, a case report of the tumor occurring in the tongue of a 44-year-old man is presented. The histology was confirmed to that in Abrikossoff's classic description of the tumor. The patient was treated surgically and was well months later. Immunohistochemical and electron microscopic observations revealed that this tumor was strongly suggestive of peripheral nerve origin as reported by other investigators.
