The small endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)‐suspected gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), gastric subepithelial tumors at the muscularis propria layer on EUS, are detected frequently. Bite‐on‐bite forceps biopsy and EUS‐guided tissue sampling yield variable results. This study aimed to analyze clinicopathologic features of the small EUS‐suspected gastric GISTs 2 cm or less in size and to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the endoscopic incisional biopsy (EIB) for these small tumors.
