Abstract

With only 18 cases reported in the literature, granular cell tumors (GCTs) are extremely rare neoplasms of the bladder. We present a case of GCT of urinary bladder in a 50 year old female with clinical, radiological and histomorphological features suggestive of granular cell tumour of the bladder.
