An exam favourite spot diagnosis (granular cell tumour).
Spot diagnoses are (microscopic) diagnoses one can make on the spot. They are ideal for bell-ringer type exams.
There is a separate article for gross spot diagnoses.
If you are looking for questions for review/practice, take a look at the quizzes page for quick ones, and cases page for longer ones.
