Core Tip Gastric adenocarcinoma with predominant submucosal growth may closely mimic gastrointestinal stromal tumor. In this case, a small submucosal tumor-like gastric lesion with surface erosion and bleeding was misdiagnosed as gastrointestinal stromal tumor because endoscopic ultrasound suggested a muscularis propria-derived lesion and diagnostic endoscopic submucosal dissection biopsy showed spindle cell-like morphology. The final diagnosis of poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma was made after surgical resection. Small submucosal tumor-like lesions with mucosal abnormalities require multimodal evaluation, adequate tissue acquisition, and timely immunohistochemical assessment to reduce misdiagnosis.
