Core Tip	We experienced an exceptionally rare case of early gastric cancer presenting as submucosal tumor (SMT) that was successfully treated by endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) alone, although the procedure was performed four years after first detection due to patient refusal and follow-up loss. The present case cautions that SMT-like gastric cancer should be included in the differential diagnosis when a hypoechogenic mass is detected in the 2nd or 3rd layer by endoscopic ultrasound, regardless of size and the absence of findings suggesting malignancy. When diagnosis is uncertain, invasive techniques such as diagnostic endoscopic mucosal resection or ESD, which can potentially be used for therapeutic purposes, should be considered and close follow-up is recommended.
