Abstract

Granular cell tumors are benign lesions that usually appear in the skin, oral cavity, and mucous membrane. Occasionally, they will appear in visceral organs, and cause signs and symptoms similar to those of other organ-related diseases. We studied a patient with granular cell tumors of the common bile duct whose clinical appearance mimicked that of cholecystitis with cholethiasis. Recognition of granular cell tumors on frozen section will allow surgical resection with probable cure.
