Granular cell tumors and chordomas are also found.

Granular cell tumors are typically solitary and are rarely larger than three centimeters.

Some investigators have found that granular cell tumors have a worse prognosis, but this finding is not universal.

Decrease in renal perfusion pressure (detected directly by the granular cells)

Granular cell tumors are also found in the internal organs, particularly in the upper aerodigestive tract.

It is important to separate hiberoma from adult rhabdomyoma, a granular cell tumor and a true liposarcoma.

The most aggressive stage of renal cancer is believed to be the one in which the tumour is mixed, containing both clear and granular cells.

The granule cells are tightly packed in the granular cell layer of the dentate gyrus.

Granular cells are modified pericytes of glomerular arterioles.

Keratinocytes migrating from the underlying stratum spinosum become known as granular cells in this layer.

The surface of the polyp is covered by stratified squamous epitehlium with a prominent granular cell layer.

These prostaglandins diffuse to the granular cells and activate a prostaglandin-specific Gs receptor.

Granular cell tumor is a tumor that can develop on any skin or mucosal surface, but occurs on the tongue 40% of the time.

When the resection margins of a benign granular cell tumor are positive for tumor infiltration the recurrence rate is increased to 20%.

Granular cell tumors show similarity to neural tissue, as can be demonstrated by immunohistochemistry and ultrastructural evidence using electron microscopy.

Benign granular cell tumors have a recurrence rate of 2% to 8% when resection margins are deemed clear of tumor infiltration.

Ultrastructural analysis has revealed tissue separation at the junction between the granular cells and the stratum corneum in the outer epidermis.

Adenocarcinomas may be separated into clear cell and granular cell carcinomas; however, the two cell types may occur together in some tumors.

HLTx inhibits both delayed rectifier and A-type potassium channels in cerebellar granular cells.

The granular cells of the afferent arteriole senses a decreased systemic blood pressure owing to the reduced blood flow through the narrowed artery.

This type of tumor has been found to be both benign and malignant, although malignancy is rare and comprises only 2% of all granular cell tumors.

The enzyme renin is secreted by the kidney from specialized cells called granular cells of the juxtaglomerular apparatus in response to three stimuli:

Concomitantly, cells lose their nuclei and organelles causing the granular cells to become non-viable corneocytes in the stratum corneum.

The six different histopathological variants of ameloblastoma are desmoplastic, granular cell, basal cell, plexiform, follicular, and acanthomatous.

Histologically, they are lined by stratified squamous epithelium that lacks a granular cell layer and are filled with compact "wet" keratin.
