We describe a case of multiple polypoid lesions that occurred in the colon of a 62-year-old man. Eight of the lesions were demonstrated by barium enema, and five were examined histologically. A small nodule in the submucosa of the ascending colon was histologically identical to granular cell tumor, characterized by nested growth of large tumor cells with ample granular cytoplasm and small round nuclei. Immunohistochemically, the cells were positive for S-100, neuron-specific enolase and vimentin, and negative for alpha-smooth muscle actin and desmin.

Considerable debate has surrounded the histogenesis of this neoplasm; however, it is considered to be a myoblastoma of, usually, a benign nature. It affects women more often than men. When it develops beneath the epidermis or mucous membrane, it can lead to proliferation of the squamous cells and mimic squamous cell carcinoma.
