Abstract
Granular cell tumors (GCT) are rare tumors of neural origin involving mostly the tongue and skin. However, with the increased use of endoscopy, the gastrointestinal tract has been reported as a common location. the esophagus is the gastrointestinal site most frequently affected. Such tumors are rarely seen in the stomach, colon or rectum. It usually appears as a small, poorly circumscribed nodule with benign clinical course. Subsequently one case of a granular cell tumor of the ascending colon in 38 year-old female which were successfully diagnosed by a endoscopy and a endosonography and confirmed using snare polypectomy is here in reported.
