Descriptor tumor de células granulares
Entry term(s) mioblastoma de células granulares
Scope note: Tumor inusual que afecta a cualquier zona del cuerpo, pero que se encuentra con mayor frecuencia en cabeza y cuello. La histogénesis de esta neoplasia ha sido objeto de un intenso debate; sin embargo, se considera que es un mioblastoma de naturaleza generalmente benigna. Afecta a las mujeres con más frecuencia que a los hombres. Cuando se desarrolla debajo de la epidermis o en las mucosas, puede producir proliferación de las células escamosas y asemejarse al carcinoma escamoso.

Scope note: Unusual tumor affecting any site of the body, but most often encountered in the head and neck. Considerable debate has surrounded the histogenesis of this neoplasm; however, it is considered to be a myoblastoma of, usually, a benign nature. It affects women more often than men. When it develops beneath the epidermis or mucous membrane, it can lead to proliferation of the squamous cells and mimic squamous cell carcinoma.
