RESUMO
O esôfago é o local mais comum de tumor de células granulares de origem no trato gastrintestinal. Cerca de 270 casos de tumores de células granulares do esôfago têm sido relatados na literatura. A maioria é encontrada incidentalmente durante a endoscopia. Apesar de ser reconhecido facilmente por suas características endoscópicas, tem que ser diferenciado de outras lesões benignas e malignas da mucosa e submucosa. A maioria dos tumores de células granulares é assintomática e benigna, e o acompanhamento endoscópico pode ser considerado suficiente como manejo terapêutico. Novas opções terapêuticas devem ser consideradas especialmente para lesões maiores. Três casos são relatados de paciente com tumores de células granulares de esôfago inferior, diagnosticados por endoscopia digestiva alta.
ABSTRACT
The esophagus is the most common site of origin of gastrointestinal tract granular cell tumors. Approximately 270 cases of esophageal granular cell tumors have been reported in the literature. Most esophageal granular cell tumors are found incidentally during endoscopy. Although granular cell tumor of the esophagus has become easily recognizable by its endoscopic features, it has to be differentiated from other benign and malignant mucosal and submucosal lesions. The majority of esophageal granular cell tumors are asymptomatic and benign; thus, close follow-up of the patients with endoscopy could be considered sufficient as a therapeutic management. New therapeutic options should be considered especially for larger lesions. Three cases of granular cell tumors with complaints of epigastric discomfort, regurgitation, nausea, and vomiting, which were detected in the lower part of the esophagus on upper gastrointestinal tract endoscopy, are discussed.
