Granular Cell Tumor (GCT) is a rare female genital tract tumor. Most of the tumors are benign, however malignant variants have been reported in cases of multicentric or metastatic diseases. We present a case of an infiltrative variety of benign granular cell tumor that was totally excised under general anesthesia. Wider local excision was made following recurrence of the tumor after nine months. There was no evidence of the disease during four years of follow up.
