[Abrikosov's tumor of the tongue associated with a sialometaplasia lesion].
One case of Abrikossof's tumor of the tongue associated with sialometaplasia is reported. The autors discuss the histogenesis of the granular-cell tumor. Actually, most of the autors agree to acknowledge a neurogene origin of the tumor: the typical granular cell of the myoblastoma, first described by Abrikossof, would originate from the schwann's cell, due to the ultrastructural morphological likeness of these cells with the phagocytic form of the schwann's cell.
