title: [Esophageal Abrikossof tumor: a case report].
abstract: Systematic eso-gastric endoscopy allowed the discovery of a granular cell tumor. Also known as Abrikossof's tumor, the latter is a benign lesion, usually symptomless, unless it is large in size, or associated with a malignant tumor. Grossly it is a polypoid, submucosal tumor. Diagnosis is microscopic, confirmed by immunohistochemistry, unless biopsies are superficial, and show only the usually associated pseudo-carcinomatous hyperplasia. Therapeutic approach depends on the symptoms, mainly dysphagia, which is related to the size of the tumor.
