A gastric submucosal tumor is a growth that forms beneath the inner lining (mucosa) of the stomach. It is found in about 1 to 2 out of every 100 people who undergo an upper endoscopy, and most are benign (not harmful to the body). However, some can become malignant, so regular follow-up is needed. If one is found during an endoscopy, please follow your doctor's guidance for management.2026-06-26
