Granular cell tumors of the gastrointestinal tract and perianal region A study of 74 cases

Abstract: Seventy-four patients with 75 examples of granular cell tumors occurring in the gastrointestinal tract and perianal region were studied. Twenty-four were located in the esophagus, eight in the stomach, three in the small bowel, four in the appendix, twenty in the large bowel, and sixteen in the perianal region. Nine cases had multiple tumors either occurring in the same area of the bowel or in other organs, mostly the skin. Approximately 50% of the tumors occurring in the esophagus and perianal region showed v… Show more

“…GCTs of the cervical portion of the esophagus are particularly rare. In reviews of gastrointestinal tract GCTs, the incidence of cervical esophageal lesions has been found to be 1.3 % of all gastrointestinal GCTs, and only 4.2-5 % of all esophageal GCTs [2,3]. Due to the rarity of this lesion and its benign pathology, prescribed treatment protocols have not been elucidated; however, some have recommended observation alone for lesions less than one centimeter [4].…”
