[Esophageal localization of granulosa cell tumor (presentation of a clinical case)].

The authors report on a case of granular cell tumour localized in the lower third of the thoracic oesophagus. The patient, a 49-year-old male, suffering from symptoms of dysphagia over the previous few months, was treated surgically by thoracotomy enucleation of the neoplasm. Despite its slow growth, this rare benign neoplasm, which probably originates in Schwann's sheath, is a candidate for endoscopic or surgical resection.
