A 42-year-old female was referred to our department after find out submucosal tumor type lesion on cardia at local
clinics. She experienced no specific symptom. On gastroscopy, two distinct neoplasms were detected. One of which
was located in the cardia anterior wall of the stomach with the size of 2.0×1.1 cm, and the other one was localized
in the cardia posterior wall of the stomach and its size was 1.5×1.2 cm. We performed endoscopic submucosal dissection.
Pathological evaluation revealed the diagnosis of gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) at the cardia anterior wall
and malignant lymphoma from the mass localized cardia posterior wall of the stomach. We would like to report these
rare synchronous tumors which were successfully treated by endoscopic resection in the same patient
