Granular cell tumor (GCT) is an infrequent and usually benign neoplasm which is found predominantly in the head and neck region. More than half of the head and neck GCTs originate from the tongue.

It was located under the anterior tongue, filled the floor of the mouth and was resected by the transoral route.
