[Abrikossoff's granular cell tumors of the esophagus. Apropos of 2 cases]
Abstract
Two cases of granular-cell tumors of the esophagus, occurring in two heavy drinkers and smokers, are reported. One of them had increased in volume, while the other caused dysphagia. Both were treated by local exeresis followed by an immediate histological study. The postoperative period was quite uncomplicated. The authors discuss the merits of ultrasound in the preoperative diagnosis, the problems of the relationships with cancer and the choice of treatment.
