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.
颗粒细胞瘤是一种罕见的软组织肿瘤,其中仅2%为恶性,起源于神经组织。本文报告一例具有良性组织病理学特征的巨大食管颗粒细胞瘤,该肿瘤已转移至肝脏,但正电子发射断层扫描-计算机断层扫描显示标准化摄取值提示为良性病变。
