Accurate diagnosis requires a combination of endoscopic ultrasonography, histopathology, and immunohistochemistry.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Case Description<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We report a 51-year-old female with a two-year history of epigastric burning, anorexia, and unexplained weight loss. Initial evaluation included EUS, which identified a 1.8 \u00d7 2.4 cm hypoechoic submucosal lesion arising from the muscularis propria at the gastric antrum. Contrast-enhanced CT demonstrated a 2 cm avidly enhancing antral lesion with persistent venous-phase enhancement; no evidence of lymphadenopathy or metastasis was noted. Subsequent EUS-guided fine-needle biopsy (FNB) demonstrated an epithelioid neoplasm. Initial immunohistochemistry excluded GIST (CD117\u2212, DOG1\u2212), leiomyoma (desmin\u2212), and schwannoma (S100\u2212). Additional glomus tumor-specific markers were not performed at this stage due to limited biopsy material and a stepwise diagnostic approach. Given the peri-pancreatic location, diagnostic uncertainty, and lesion size exceeding 2 cm, the decision was made to proceed with laparoscopic distal gastrectomy. Final histopathology confirmed glomangioma, positive for SMA and vimentin; Ki-67 ~1%; 0 mitoses per 50 high-power fields (HPF); no atypia, necrosis, lymphovascular invasion, or clear margins. Postoperative surveillance CTs showed no recurrence; no adjuvant therapy was indicated.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This case highlights the clinical and radiologic overlap between GGT and other submucosal gastric lesions.
