Core Tip	Distinguishing other subepithelial lesions (SELs) from neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) is important for appropriate clinical management of the disease. In this study, the typical endoscopic ultrasonographic (EUS) characteristics of rectal NENs are round or nodular homogeneous medium-echoic lesions located in both the second and third wall layers clearly demarcated from the surrounding tissue. Approximately 94.4% of rectal NENs were correctly diagnosed by EUS, but 25.8% of other rectal SELs were misdiagnosed as NENs. EUS has satisfactory diagnostic accuracy for rectal NEN with good sensitivity, but unfavorable specificity, making the differential diagnosis of NENs from other SELs challenging.
