Abstract
On the basis of a study of 12 cases of granular cell tumors in the brains of rats of different inbred strains, it seems that granular cell tumors are not rare in the CNS of untreated, aging BN/Bi rats. In none were metastases found. Awareness of the occurrence of these tumors in the CNS of these rats may stimulate further studies into the cellular origin of granular cell tumors that form in the CNS of the rat and might help to elucidate the origin of these tumors in general.
