Abstract

We herein describe an extremely rare case of gastric granular cell tumor (GCT). The gastric submucosal tumor showed a central tiny depression on the surface with a molar tooth-like appearance on esophagogastroduodenoscopy. Our case highlights that gastric GCT should be considered as differential diagnosis of gastric submucosal tumors.

Keywords: granular cell tumor; stomach; submucosal tumor.
