Abstract
Abrikossoff’s tumor, also known as granular cell tumor, is a rare tumor first described on the tongue by Ivanovich Abrikossoff in 1926. It is mainly located in the head and neck regions with preferential mucosal involvement and may occur at any age and in both sexes, although with a female predominance. Herein, we report two cases: the case of a nodule under the left breast in a 47-year-old female with a history of breast cancer and of a subcutaneous lesion on the right thigh in a 46-year-old female. The diagnosis of granular cell tumor was reached by biopsy with immunohistochemical staining, then treatment was completed by a large surgical excision. Key words: Abrikossoff; Skin; Granular cell tumor
