Abstract
|
|
|
ranular cell tumor of esophagus is a rare neoplasm. It is almost invariably benign in character and is of still disputed histogenesis. Although endoscopy permits recongnition of this tumor and supports its benign nature, only hisrologic
examination
of
the endoscopic biopsy specimen permits one to determin its precise nature. The endoscopic appearance of esophageal granular cell tumor ranges from a plaque like thickening of the mucosa to a polypoid mass. We describe here one case of granular
cell
tumor of esophagus in 62 years-old male who complain anterior chest pain those managed successfully by endoscopic polypectomy. We believe the actual incidence of this tumor in this location might be greater if every esophagus were given as much
attention at endoscopic examination and autopsy.
