Granular cell tumour, also known as Abrikossoff’s tumour, is an uncommon tumour of nerve sheath origin. The average age of presentation is the fourth or fifth decade of life. The most common locations include soft tissues, skin and mucosa of the upper respiratory and digestive tract. Tumours are usually solitary. Multiple foci were observed in about 10-25% of cases and malignant course in about 3-7%. The treatment of choice is radical resection with clear surgical margin. The authors present a case of a 15-year-old boy with granular cell tumour of the skin of the arm.
