Abstract
ABSTRACT
Granular cell tumors (GCTs) are uncommon soft tissue tumors, which are difficult to diagnose merely by clinical examination. Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC), being an effective first-line investigation, plays a significant role in the preoperative diagnosis of GCT. However, the tumor can mimic certain other lesions; hence, a cytopathologist needs to be aware of its characteristic morphology. We report here a case of GCT, presented as a subcutaneous nodule in the first finger web. A differential diagnosis of lipoma/neurofibroma was made clinically. FNAC was done and showed characteristic features of granular cell tumor along with intranuclear inclusions and subsequently, it was confirmed on histopathology.
