Abstract
|
|
|
The first case report of granular cell tumor was by Abrikossoff in 1926, the tumor has been named with more than 20 different synonyms. It is found usually in the tongue, oral cavity, and the skin. It occurs rarely in the esophagus. Esophageal
granular
cell tumor is a benign lesion which can be diagnosed by endoscopic biopsy. Large symptomatic lesion can be removed by polypectomy. A 29-year-old female visited our hospital for intermittent epigastric pain and anterior chest discomfort. Endoscopy
showed
a 0.6×0.4cm whitish yellow nodule in the mid-esophagus, 25cm from the incisor teeth. Endoscopic polypectomy was performed with "O"-type rubber band for endoscopic variceal ligation(EVL).
A case of esophageal granular cell tumor conformed by S-100 protein stain is reported with the review of literature. (Kor J Gastrointest Endosc 16: 55~59, 1996)
