Abstract
Granular cell tumors (GCTs) of the gastrointestinal tract are rare neoplasms often detected incidentally as subepithelial lesions during endoscopic examination. The occurrence of GCTs in the gastric cavity is even rarer. So far, there have been only four reports of multifocal gastric GCTs. Our study presents the fifth case involving a middle-aged lady with incidental multifocal gastric GCT. It is the first such case reported in West Asia.
