A case of granular cell tumor of the esophagus was reported. A 48-year-old man was admitted with a history of intermittent dysphagia and postprandial substernal discomfort. Esophagography demonstrated a 3 cm filling defect in the lower portion of the esophagus. Esophagoscopy identified a white-yellowish, plaque-like tumor with small ulceration on the posterior esophageal wall of 35 cm distant from the incisor teeth. Because of the high suspicion of esophageal cancer, esophageal resection with retrosternal esophagogastrostomy was performed on March 21, 1980. The surgical specimen revealed a 2.5 X 2.5 cm submucosal tumor with superficial ulcer near the esophagogastric junction, and histologically it was diagnosed as granular cell tumor. Postoperative course was uneventful. Clinical features of this lesion were reviewed in 69 cases in the literature.
报告了一例食管颗粒细胞瘤。一名48岁男性因间歇性吞咽困难和餐后胸骨后不适病史入院。食管造影显示食管下段有一个3厘米的充盈缺损。食管镜检查发现距门齿35厘米处的食管后壁有一个黄白色、斑块状肿瘤，伴有小溃疡。由于高度怀疑食管癌，于1980年3月21日行胸骨后食管胃吻合术食管切除术。手术标本显示在食管胃交界处附近有一个2.5×2.5厘米的黏膜下肿瘤，伴有浅表溃疡，组织学诊断为颗粒细胞瘤。术后病程顺利。对文献中69例该病变的临床特征进行了回顾。
