Processus tumoral (tumeur) généralement bénin, rare, qui siège sous la peau ou les muqueuses, essentiellement sur la langue.

OBS

L’examen microscopique rélève la constitution de la tumeur d’Abrikossoff. Il s’agit de grosses cellules possédant la capacité de contenir des grains éosinophiles (c’est-a-dire mis en évidence grâce à l’utilisation d’un colorant : l’éosine).

OBS

[La] tumeur à cellules granuleuses d’Abrikossof [...] est d’histogénèse controversée malgré les progrès de l'immunohistochimie, comme en témoignent les appellations de schawnnome, de myoblastome à cellules granuleuses.
