Abstract
A 58-year-old man was incidentally found to have a gastric mass on computed tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen for an episode of epigastric abdominal pain. The CT scan revealed a 25 × 19 × 20 mm intraluminal density along the lesser curvature of the distal stomach. An upper endoscopy was performed, and a subepithelial lesion was seen in the gastric antrum (Figure A). Endoscopic ultrasound revealed a hypoechoic (30 × 20 mm) well-defined oval subepithelial lesion appearing to originate from muscularis propria (Figure B).
