Abstract

We report a case of intraneural malignant granular cell tumor of the upper extremity occurring in a child. This is an exceedingly rare tumor and the incidence has so far been reported only in adults. The tumor was successfully treated surgically and the patient has remained tumor free to date. We describe our approach to the problem so that it will serve as an index case for similar encounters in the future.
