Advanced Tumor Care for Faster Healing
Granular cell tumors are slow-growing and usually benign (noncancerous), and are more common in women than in men. Approximately 40% of them are found on the tongue, but they can also grow on the skin or any tissue covered with mucus. When they're malignant (cancerous), they are often highly aggressive. For tumors like these, rest assured that you don't have to go far to find leading-edge care within the AdventHealth Neuroscience Institute network.
We specialize in minimally invasive treatments that use 3D brain mapping and GPS-like neuronavigation to pinpoint granular cell tumors with immense accuracy. Using an endoscope, our surgeons can remove the tumor through the natural corridor of the nose instead of making an incision in the skull. This minimizes damage to surrounding tissue, results in less scarring and pain and often means a faster recovery, too.
