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.
