Oxyphilic granular cell adenoma (oncocytoma) of the esophagus
KA Mansour, GS Zaatari and JG Krick
An oncocytoma of the esophagus is presented. The patient's chief complaint
was dysphagia, and barium swallow suggested cricopharyngeus muscle
hypertrophy. Exploration revealed an intramural mass in the cervical
esophagus. Enucleation resulted in relief of symptoms. Pathological and
immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated an oncocytoma of thyroid origin.
