Granular cell tumors (GCTs) of the gastrointestinal tract are rare neoplasms often detected incidentally as subepithelial lesions during endoscopic examination. The occurrence of GCTs in the gastric cavity is even rarer. So far, there have been only four reports of multifocal gastric GCTs. Our study presents the fifth case involving a middle-aged lady with incidental multifocal gastric GCT. It is the first such case reported in West Asia.
胃肠道颗粒细胞瘤(GCTs)是一种罕见的肿瘤,在内镜检查时通常作为上皮下病变偶然发现。胃腔内发生GCTs的情况更为罕见。到目前为止,仅有4例多灶性胃GCTs的报告。我们的研究报告了第五例病例,患者为一名中年女性,偶然发现多灶性胃GCTs。这是西亚地区报告的首例此类病例。
