Abstract
Subepithelial gastric tumors are a diagnostic challenge. Endoscopic ultrasound allows differentiation. Lesions originating from the submucosal layer can be resected using endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). Surgery or endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFTR) techniques are alternatives. We present a patient with an 11 × 8 mm submucosal tumor in the gastric antrum suggestive of a gastrointestinal stromal tumor, originating from the muscularis propria. Eventually endoscopic resection was performed, combining ESD and EFTR (hybrid ESD-EFTR). Contrary to expectations, histology revealed a gastric schwannoma. This case illustrates an efficient and safe endoscopic hybrid technique for the removal of submucosal gastric lesions.
