-Abstract-
Granular cell tumor is rare and is thought to originate from neurogenic cells. The tumor
rarely occurs in the colon and its occurrence in the appendix is extremely rare. We
report a case of granular cell tumor developed in the appendix for the first time in
Korea. The tumor was discovered incidentally during colonoscopy and removed by using
an endoscopic polypectomy. The expression of S-100 protein and lack of desmin
represent that the tumor is relatd with Schwann cell originally.
