Contrast‐enhanced harmonic endoscopic ultrasonography (CH‐EUS) is a valuable device to diagnose and determine the malignant potential of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) as early as possible when making clinical therapeutic decisions. This study aimed to estimate the ability of CH‐EUS to discriminate between GIST and benign submucosal lesions (SML) and to predict their malignant potential.
