description Granular cell tumours (GCTs) are rare soft tissue tumours of neural origin. They have been reported in multiple anatomical sites. However, only 14 cases worldwide have been reported arising from the abdominal wall. While they can clinically manifest in a variety of ways, often they present as a small, slow-growing nodule with benign features. They can, however, be malignant, and in rare cases, they have been reported to metastasise. Here, we present a case of a rare abdominal wall GCT, which was managed with local excision. The purpose of this paper is to report the patient's clinical history, presentation, and surgical management, as well as to review the current literature to highlight the existence of this rare entity and the possibility that this may occur and should be considered a differential diagnosis in clinical practice.
