Esophageal granular cell tumors (GCTs) are rare tumors of the esophagus.We evaluated the clinical and pathologic features of 9 esophageal GCT patients (5 men and 4 women) from our institute and reviewed the related disease literature.Patient age ranged from 25 to 53 years (mean:41 years).All the patients were asymptomatic or presented with non-specific symptoms.Most GCTs occurred in the distal esophagus and were less than 6 mm in diameter.Computational analysis showed that the average gray-scale endoscopic ultrasound images of esophageal GCTs were greater than that of esophageal leiomyomas.Eight patients were treated by endoscopic resection,and 1 patient underwent surgical excision.No post-therapy recurrence or metastasis developed during follow-up (mean:36.4 mo,range:1-72 mo).
