Endoscopic finding of granular cell tumour associated with leiomyomas in the oesophagus.
Following a single report in the literature of granular cell tumour associated with diffuse leiomyomatosis in the oesophagus, we describe the case of a 39-year-old man in whom a granular cell tumour and two leiomyomas were endoscopically removed from this site. This previously unreported association of granular cell tumour with isolated leiomyomas suggests the need to bear in mind the possibility of other mesenchymal lesions, including leiomyomas or leiomyomatosis, when a granular cell tumour is found in the oesophagus.
