Granular cell tumours are rare tumours that occur in various organs, including the digestive tract. Selection of treatment method for these tumours is still widely discussed in the literature. This report presents a 52-year-old patient in whom accidentally diagnosed granular cell tumour in the distal part of the oesophagus was removed as a whole using the lift-and-cut endoscopic method with a coagulation loop after previous tumour elevation by injection of physiological saline solution. Infiltration of deep layers of the oesophagus by tumour cells was previously excluded using endoscopic ultrasonography.
