Quick Summary:

• Granular Cell Tumor (GCT) of Vulva is a common and ‘mostly’ benign tumor of the soft tissue that occurs in the vulva (area around the external opening of the vagina). About 15% of the GCTs are found in the vulva of middle-aged women, in a majority of cases
• Benign granular cell tumors are also found within the muscles, tendons, ligaments, soft tissues, and rarely within lymph nodes. Presence of GCT within the lymph nodes is a difficult problem for the doctors. This is because it is difficult to tell whether the presence of such tumors in the lymph nodes are due to a metastasis from a different body site, or if the GCT originated within the lymph nodes itself (primary site)
• In general, Granular Cell Tumor of Vulva forms as a slow-growing solitary mass on the vulva. Even though most are asymptomatic, some tumors may present with pain and itching in the vulvar region
• The treatment for Granular Cell Tumor of Vulva involves surgery. However, tumors with infiltrative margins can recur following their surgical removal
• The prognosis of Vulvar Granular Cell Tumor is typically excellent in a vast majority of cases, since it is a benign tumor. However, around 2% of the tumors are known to undergo malignant transformations
