Abstract:
Granular cell tumours (GCTs) are generally benign neoplasms, which are believed to be of neural origin. They are uncommon in the gastrointestinal tract. They are rarely found in the colon and even more rarely found to be multiple. We present a case of a man who underwent a right hemicolectomy for a submucosal lesion and polyps and was found to have multiple nodules diagnosed as caecal GCTs with cellular atypia. While uncommon, this case shows it remains an important differential due to implications for patient management, given the often benign nature of disease.
