Abstract
SUMMARY A granular cell myoblastoma was seen on the tongue of a 2½-year-old male Dachshund. Histologically, the tumor consisted of proliferation of small, compact nodules or nests of polyhedral-shaped cells separated by a delicate meshwork of reticulum fibers. The cytoplasm of the neoplastic cells had a strongly positive periodic acid-Schiff reaction for polysaccharides. Results in recent studies have indicated that granular cell myoblastoma of man is a tumor of Schwann's cell origin.
