| description | Granular cell tumor is a rare tumor of unknown etiology that more commonly affects the oral cavity but can also occur at other sites.

We discuss a case of granular cell tumor of the fourth toe in a 54-year-old patient that was treated with conservative surgery, instead of amputation, and reconstruction with a dermal regeneration template. |
