Core Tip
Core tip: Gastrohepatic ligament calcifying fibrous tumor (CFT) is a very rare benign tumor. In addition, the tumor could not be distinguished from the submucosal tumor of the stomach because the tumor adhered to the lesser curvature of the gastric antrum. Since this disease may be confused with gastric submucosal tumor, the possibility of CFT should be kept in mind during clinical assessment of this disease.
