| Core Tip |
Most small gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GISTs) are treated surgically, and endoscopic resection is contraindicated as the risk of perforation and incomplete resection is high. However, several authors recently reported successful results with endoscopic resection of a subepithelial tumor originating from the muscularis propria layer, including GISTs. A GIST with exophytic growth was previously considered a contraindication for endoscopic resection. In cases of exophytic GISTs, surgical or endoscopic full-thickness resection with laparoscopic support is generally indicated. However, this case shows that even exophytic GISTs can potentially be endoscopically resected without perforation using the suction excavation method.
