Abstract

Granular cell tumor (GCT) is a very rare tumor of mesodermal origin. Among genital GCT (of which less than 60 cases reported worldwide), vaginal GCT has been reported as only 1 case. Malignant GCT has been reported in 1-2% of GCT. 37-year-old woman was admitted with urinary frequency and incidentally identified anterior vaginal wall mass. Complete surgical excision was performed and confirmed as vaginal GCT by histopathology. The postoperative follow-up was uneventful. We present the first case of vaginal GCT in Korea we could excise completely and report with a brief review of the literature.
