Esophageal granular cell tumors (GCTs) are rare, often benign tumors of neurogenic origin. Granular cell tumors (GCTs), first described by Abrikossoff in 1926, are rare tumors that occur in various parts of the body [1,2]. They are generally observed in the gastrointestinal tract, less commonly in the thyroid, respiratory tract, female urogenital tract, nervous system, breast, and gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Tumors in the gastrointestinal tract represent only 6-10% of all granular cell tumors, especially the esophagus. In 30-60% of these cases, the most common location is the esophagus. These neoplasms are usually solitary and are multifocal lesions in 10% of cases. Although their clinical course is relatively benign, approximately 2% of GCTs are malignant.
