Malignant Granular Cell Tumor of the Esophagus: A Case Report.
Original language description
Introduction: Malignant granular cell tumor (MGCT) of the esophagus is an extremely rare malignancy with a poor prognosis. Literature describing this condition is not sufficient, especially regarding long-term survival. Presentation of Case: A 52-year-old woman presented with dyspnea and slow onset dysphagia. The endoscopy, endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), bronchoscopy, and positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) supported the suspicion of esophageal gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). Open wedge esophagectomy and tracheal resection were performed. The histology proved periodic acid–Schiff (PAS)-positive granules in epithelial cells, hyperchromatic nuclei and the positivity of Protein soluble in 100% ammonium sulfate (S-100), vimentin, neuron-specific enolase, laminin, and myelinic proteins. Local recurrence after 10 months required a two-phase esophagectomy with retrosternal gastroplasty. Bone, liver, and mediastinal metastases occurred 6 months later, with overall survival of 34 months. Discussion: Preoperative histological confirmation is often not reliable. Tracheal invasion increases the perioperative risk and the probability of an unsuccessful resection. Esophagectomy or radical R0 local resection is the only known curative therapy. Repeated resections may increase survival in case of locoregional recurrence. Radiotherapy has a potential for palliative care. Conclusion: Esophageal MGCT requires a detailed presentation including long-term survival. Early surgical removal of intramural esophageal neoplasms with potentially malignant features is highly recommended. Radical and/or repeated esophageal resections are the only known therapies with curative potential.
