Core Tip	Oesophageal gastrointestinal stromal tumors are exceedingly rare and tend to be diagnosed at larger sizes with a higher malignant potential than their gastric counterparts. Although definitive management guidelines remain lacking, surgical resection has traditionally been the primary treatment. However, recent advancements in endoscopic techniques now offer promising minimally invasive alternatives that can help patients who are poor candidates for esophagectomy avoid this extensive procedure.
