Implication

Case report reveals a gastric inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor in a 69-year-old male, indicating that this rare neoplasm can clinically mimic gastrointestinal stromal tumors.

Key Points

A gastric inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor was definitively identified following surgical excision, resolving diagnostic uncertainty from inconclusive biopsies.
The 24-mm submucosal tumor in a 69-year-old patient exhibited strong smooth muscle actin expression, distinguishing it from gastrointestinal stromal tumor phenotypes.
Analysis highlights that gastric inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor represents an important differential diagnosis during evaluation of stomach submucosal lesions.
