Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) represents a useful and less invasive procedure for procuring pathological specimens from lesions located either in proximity to or within the gastrointestinal wall [1] [2]. Contrast-enhanced EUS (CE-EUS) is known to be advantageous for differential diagnosis in various types of tumors, as it provides real-time blood flow images [3]. In this report, we present a patient with a gastric submucosal tumor associated with hemorrhage, in whom CE-EUS-guided FNA (CE-EUS-FNA) had a pivotal role in precisely identifying the lesion and facilitating accurate FNA.
