Granular cell tumor (GCT) of esophagus is a rare lesion, usually found incidentally during upper
gastrointestinal endoscopic examination undertaken for another reasons. The origin of this neoplasm
is still unclear but no organ seems to be immune to this neoplasm. Although most of the lesions are
benign, few reports of malignant GCT, synchronous as well as metachronous, are also reported. It
can occur at any age, but are most commonly observed in fourth and fifth decade of life. We herein
report a case of multiple GCT treated by endoscopic mucosal resection and review the relevant
literatures.
Key Words: Granular Cell Tumor, Esophagus, Endoscopic Mucosal Resection.
