An uneventful endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) of the lesion was performed using the Captivator  EMR banding kit (Boston Scientific, Natick, MA; Figure 3).
Histopathologic analysis of gastric subepithelial tumor showing bland, uniform oval to spindle cells dispersed along thin parallel collagen bands. The tumor cells had minimal cytoplasm, small elongated nuclei, and indistinct nucleoli. Staghorn vessels with perivascular sclerosis were also present (hematoxylin and eosin stain, 200x).
