Introduction: Granular cell tumors are uncommonly found in the gastrointestinal tract with slow progression and are usually benign though they may have propensity for malignant transformation. Initially attributed to neuronal origin through immunohistochemistry, there has been controversy with increasing reports of granular cell tumors of non-neural origin.
Case Report: We report a case of multifocal granular cell tumor involving the esophagus and stomach in a young female with history of dysphagia for 9 years with worsening symptoms.
