Abstract
Granular cell tumor (GCT) is uncommon, originates from Schwann cell and is usually benign. It is most commonly seen in skin and subcutaneous tissue of chest and upper extremity, tongue, breast, female genital tract and respiratory tract. Involvement of Gastrointestinal Tract (GIT) is seen only in 8% of cases and still rarer in stomach; more frequent in esophagus followed by colon. Most of GCTs are reported to be synchronously associated with the similar tumor at esophagus or other gastrointestinal location [1]. Here we report a rare case of solitary GCT of stomach.
