Abstrakt: 263 cases of granular cell tumour had collected [thanks to the collaboration of pathologists Septentrional Association of North, Pas-de-Calais and Aisne departments (A.S.A.P.)]. We studied the age, sex, localisations and the particularity of these tumours. These results had compared to other large series of the literature. Our study showed a majority of men (68%), twenty to sixty year old. The preferential sites are skin (38.57%), oesophagus (19.64%) and tongue (10%). The granular cell tumour is multiple in fifteen cases and associated to neoplastic tumour in twelve cases. Only one case recurred after incomplete excision. There were none malignant tumour.
