Abstract
A case of granular cell tumor of the urinary bladder is reported. A 48-year -old Japanese man with a bladder tumor underwent transurethral resection of the tumor and microscopic examination showed a granular cell tumor. Immuno histochemical staining for neuron specific enolase and S100 protein was pos itive, and it was suggested that the granular cell tumor was derived from S chwann cells.
