title: [Therapeutic endoscopy of an Abrikosov-tumor of the esophagus].
abstract: The rare and almost benign granular cell tumour has been described at first by Abrikossoff in 1925. The occurrence of this tumour in the esophagus is a rarity.--On occasion of gastroesophagoscopy of a 33-years old man we found an almost pea-sized polypous esophageal granular cell tumour, wich was completely removed with the diathermic electrosurgical snare. The endoscopic-therapeutic possibilities and limits concerning polypous lesions of the esophagus will be discussed.
