Granular cell tumours are uncommon acquired benign tumours of nerve sheath origin that are usually seen in the head and neck region and
upper aero-digestive tract. They usually present as solitary small sized nodules in middle age. The tumour is usually benign and composed of
sheets of large sized cells with abundant granular cytoplasm containing lysosomal macro-inclusions known as pustulo-ovoid bodies of Milian
(POB) that represent the heterogeneity of the lysosomes. No well-established criteria for malignancy have been described for this tumour. In this
article, we have discussed a rare case of granular cell tumour of the penis with its characteristic histomorphology and immunohistochemistry
and relevant differential diagnosis.
