Core Tip
Core tip: This report describes the rare case of a submucosal gastric carcinoma originating from the heterotopic submucosal gastric gland (HSG) that was safely diagnosed by laparoscopy and endoscopy cooperative surgery (LECS). LECS is a less invasive and safer approach for the diagnosis of submucosal tumor, even in submucosal gastric carcinoma originating from the HSG.
