Abstract

Granular cell tumor (GCT) may occur in any site of the body. Involvement of the gastrointestinal tract is uncommon. The esophagus is the gastrointestinal site most frequently affected, and occurrence of granular cell tumor in the stomach is extremely rare. We recently experienced a case of granular cell tumor in the stomach, presenting as a submucosal tumor, confirmed by endoscopic mucosal resection. So we report this case with review of the related literature.
