Core Tip
Core tip: Calcifying fibrous tumors (CFTs) rarely involve the gastrointestinal tract. Resection of CFT by endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) has not been reported. This is the first case report of a gastric calcifying fibrous tumor being completely resected by ESD after endoscopic ultrasonography.
