Tumeur d’Abrikossoff à localisation œsophagienne : à propos d’un nouveau cas

Abstract

Granular cell tumors or Abrikossoff tumors are rare and usually benign tumors. The esophageal involvement was rarely described (2% of cases). Diagnosis is histological and treatment controversial. From a new observation of granular cell tumor of the esophagus, we discuss clinical, endoscopic, histologic and therapeutic characteristics of this rare entity through a literature review. The Observation reported was of a 65-year-old man in whom and through exploration of dysphagia, we discovered a granular cell tumor of the third lower esophagus. In the absence of criteria of malignancy, the therapeutic approach was conservative with a simple endoscopic and echo endoscopic monitoring.
