Abstract
Abstract
Background
Granular cell tumors (GCTs) also called Abrikossoff's tumor are rare tumors of often benign neurogenic origin, mainly located in the craniocervical region, rarely found in the external genitals. We report in this article the case report of a purely cutaneous case of rare clinical presentation at the level of the penis.
Case presentation
We report the case of a man, aged 54, with no history, consulted for a nodular lesion on the penis evolving for a year. a nodular cutaneous plate, indurated 3 cm in large diameter, painless and mobile in relation to the deep plane. The lymph node areas were free, and the remainder of the skin examination was without abnormalities.
Conclusions
Granular cell tumors (GCTs) also called Abrikossoff's tumor are rare tumors of often benign neurogenic origin, mainly located in the craniocervical region, rarely found in the external genitalia, the diagnosis is based on anatomopathology study completed by immunohistochemistry, and treatment consists of complete surgical excision of the tumor.
