[Rectal Abrikossof tumor: a rare location].
Granular cell tumors or Abrikossof tumors are neurogenous ubiquitary submucosal-like tumors that are usually benign. The most frequent locations are the skin and buccal cavity. The usual location in the digestive tract is the esophageal wall. We report a rare case of Abrikossof tumor of the rectum that was not operated on because of a certain diagnosis and a low risk of malignancy.
