Abstract
Introduction: Esophageal granular cell tumors (GCTs) are rare. Their precise diagnosis is based on histopathological examination of the specimen. However, owing to the use of endoscopy as a screening tool the incidence of these lesions has presently mildly increased and must be considered as a differential diagnosis of subepithelial lesions.
Methodology: A case is presented of a GCT as a subepithelial lesion in the distal part of the esophagus found by esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD). Conservative management and
follow-up was decided due to the histopathological, clinical and ultrasound features of the lesion.
Conclusions: Knowledge regarding GCTsı́ characteristics, behavior and management is important for many are asymptomatic and remain clinically stable during follow-up, requiring no aggressive treatment. A rigorous follow-up is recommended due to its malignant potential.
