Which tumor is most common on dorsal tongue and consists of Schwann cells with pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia?

Nodular fasciitis
Granular cell tumor
Schwannoma
Neurofibromatosis type 1

The correct answer is: Granular cell tumor

Granular cell tumor is the correct answer because it is the only option that specifically mentions the dorsal tongue and the presence of Schwann cells with pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia. Nodular fasciitis is incorrect because it is a type of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor that usually presents as a submucosal mass on the dorsum of the tongue. Schwannoma is incorrect because while it does consist of Schwann cells, it does not typically present with pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia and is not commonly found on the dorsal tongue. Neurofibromatosis type 1 is incorrect because it is a genetic condition that is characterized by the development of multiple neurofibromas, which are usually located on the skin or peripheral nerves, rather than the dorsal tongue.
