Key Words	Differential diagnosis; Gastric submucosal masses; External pressure lesions; Endoscopic ultrasonography; Computed tomography
Core Tip	We have raised some issues regarding the two cases reported in the article. No figures of laparoscopic surgery are shown in the article, which lacks persuasiveness. For gastric submucosal lesions, the accuracy of enhanced computed tomography venous phase imaging combined with endoscopic ultrasound diagnosis is high. During endoscopic examination, a more accurate diagnosis can be made based on the characteristics of gastric submucosal lesions.
