Popis: A gastric subepithelial tumor is a common finding during upper gastric endoscopy. The differential diagnosis of such lesions is broad, and sometimes a rare disease can be diagnosed. A calcifying fibrous tumor (CFT) is a rare, benign mesenchymal tumor that usually affects children and young adults. To our knowledge, a CFT of the tubular gastrointestinal tract is very rare with fewer than 30 cases of gastric CFTs reported in the literature.
