Granular cell tumors (GCTs) are typically benign lesions that can occur in the gastrointestinal tract. Eosinophilic gastrointestinal disease, including eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), is an immune-mediated condition characterized by eosinophil-predominant inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract. We review previously reported cases of EoE associated with GCTs. To our knowledge, we present the first case of esophageal GCT in a patient with a long history of eosinophilic gastrointestinal disease and likely several years of active EoE before esophageal GCT diagnosis.
颗粒细胞瘤(GCTs)是一种通常发生在胃肠道的良性病变。嗜酸性胃肠道疾病,包括嗜酸性食管炎(EoE),是一种免疫介导的疾病,其特征是胃肠道中以嗜酸性粒细胞为主的炎症。我们回顾了先前报道的与GCTs相关的EoE病例。据我们所知,我们报告了首例患有长期嗜酸性胃肠道疾病且在食管GCT诊断前可能有多年活动性EoE的患者的食管GCT病例。
