Abstract
A 55-year-old black man with two firm intradermal nodules of the scrotum is presented. On histopathologic examination, the nodules were determined to be cutaneous granular cell tumors. This was confirmed by strong immunohisto chemical reactivity to S-100 protein, There are no previous reports of mult iple granular cell tumors of the male genitalia. Only one report of a solit ary granular cell tumor of the scrotum appears in the literature.
