- Abstract
- Granular cell tumor (GCT) was first described by Abrikossoff in 1926, and it is a relatively rare, usually benign, solitary neoplasm. Granular cell tumor can be located anywhere throughout the body, but it is uncommon in the gastrointestinal tract, and occurrence of granular cell tumor in the colon and rectum is extremely rare. A 40-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with a history of intermittent abdominal pain at the left lower quadrant area. Colonoscopy showed a 0.6 cm sized submucosal lesion. The tumor was removed by endoscopic submucosal dissection.
The tumor was composed of large polygonal cells with abundant eosinophilic granular cytoplasm that was positive for S-100.
We report here on a case of granular cell tumor in the transverse colon that was successfully removed by endoscopic submucosal dissection.(Korean J Med 72:S132-S135, 2007)
