Abstract
Abstract Granular cell tumors (GCTs) or Abrikossoff's tumors are rare, soft tissue tumors of neural origin with a generally benign behavior. They can occur anywhere in the body (with up to 7%–16% situated in the vulva) and can occur in patients of any age, being considered rare in children. A 6 year-old girl presented with a clitoral mass, surgically removed. Pathology revealed GCT of clitoris. To our knowledge this is the first case of GCT of the clitoris in the pediatric (prepubertal) age group reported in English literature. Although rare in pediatric age, GCT has to be suspected as a cause of vulvar mass. Surgical treatment and clinical follow-up must consider the possibility of recurrence, multiple location and malignancy with time.
