ABSTRACT
Introduction: Granular cell tumors are a rare form of soft tissue tumor often arising from the skin and subcutaneous tissues of the head, trunk, or extremities, although they rarely may arise within the colon or gastrointestinal tract. Case Report: We present a case of a 28 year-old female who initially presented with recurrent granular cell tumors of the stomach treated with endoscopic polypectomy. She eventually developed a metachronous lesion within the ascending colon and underwent a segmental colectomy. We present her treatment course, pathological findings, and review of the literature of this unique condition.
