Rare Tumors. 2015 Jun 26;7(2):5772. doi: 10.4081/rt.2015.5772. eCollection 2015 May 5.

Abstract

Granular cell tumors are rare soft tissue neoplasms, among which only 2% are malignant, arising from nervous tissue. Here we present a case of a large esophageal granular cell tumor with benign histopathological features which metastasized to the liver, but showing on positron emission tomography-computerized tomography standardized uptake value suggestive of a benign lesion.

Keywords: Granular cell tumor; esophagus; malignant.
