The patient had an gastroscopy, which revealed a 30mm*30mm hemispherical submucosal tumor arising from the lesser curvature of the gastric body , suggesting a gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) as a preoperative diagnosis;Endoscopic resection was determined to be the best choice and the patient underwent a endoscopic full-thickness resection and endoscopic purse-string suture.
