摘　　要：BACKGROUND Esophageal granular cell tumor(eGCT)is a relatively rare,usually benign neoplasm of the neuroectoderm.It is derived from Schwann cells.Clinical symptoms of this disease are non-specific.However,the most common presenting symptom is dysphagia,which is mostly misdiagnosed as esophageal polyps under gastroscopy,yet it has a 2%chance of forming cancers.We report the case of a 52-year-old woman with solitary eGCT,then analysed retrospectivelyanalyze the clinical features and elucidate on the reduction of misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis.CASE SUMMARY A 52-year-old woman was diagnosed with“esophageal granulossoma”after esophagoscopy,which was mistaken for eGCT.CONCLUSION eGCT diagnosis depends on characteristic pathomorphologies and detection of the S-100 protein.Endoscopic mucosal resection is the preferred therapeutic method.
