“…However, malignant GCTs as small as 10 mm have also been reported (16). Lymph node metastases are rare (5); moreover, it is difficult to distinguish between a multicentric tumor and a malignant tumor with metastases (17).…”

“…The esophageal variant is, however, rare and usually benign. All but 2 of 60 thus far reported esopha geal granular cell tumors were surgically excised [Sandler et al, 1981;Cohle et al" 1981], Our present report deals with the removal of an esophageal granular tumor with polypectomy snare.…”

We report a case of granular cell tumor of the esophagus, transected with polypectomy snare. A 36-year-old white female showed on esophagoscopic examination a 1.5-cm pedunculated polyp, 10 cm proximal to the gastroesophageal junction. Nine months after removal of the tumor, the repeat endoscopy showed no signs of recurrence. To our knowledge, this is the second reported case of an endoscopically excised granular cell tumor of the esophagus.

“…Außerdem neigt der Granularzelltumor -wie andere submuköse Tumore im Gastrointestinaltrakt -häufig zu zentralen Ulzerationen und Blutungen und kann somit ein Malignom vortäuschen(12,17). Da in bis zu 25% ein Granularzelltumor multipel auftreten kann(20,22,29), sollte in jedem Falle eine Untersuchung nach weiteren Tumorlokalisationen angeschlossen werden. Dazu zählen eine Untersuchung des HNO-Bereiches und der Haut, eine dermatologische Untersuchung, eine Röntgenuntersuchung der Lungen, ggf.…”

“…Dazu zählen eine Untersuchung des HNO-Bereiches und der Haut, eine dermatologische Untersuchung, eine Röntgenuntersuchung der Lungen, ggf. eine Computertomographie der Thoraxorgane und eine Untersuchung des gesamten Gastrointestinaltraktes(13,16,17,18,20,29) Therapie Als Therapiemöglichkeiten kommen sowohl eine Operation (10, 20) als auch eine endoskopische Entfernung in Frage(2,4,7,23,24,26,29,30). Auch eine Entfernung in Form einer lokalen Destruktion durch Alkoholinjektion(2,4,24) wurde…”
