摘 要:Dear Editor, Granular cell tumors (GCTs) are uncommon soft tissue neoplasms of unclear origin that most often occur in head and neck regions particularly the tongue. Until now, GCTs of the male genitalia are extremely rare with 〈20 cases reported in the English literature. Although GCTs of the penis, including prepuce, shaft, glans, corona, and corpus cavernosum,1-3 have been reported, this report describes a case of GCT originating from the urethra. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a urethral case in man.
