Tunnel biopsy in a small, sub-centimetre sized prepyloric subepithelial lesion (A) revealed a yellowish mass (B) that popped out after de-roofing the overlaying mucosa by repeated tunnel biopsy (C). It could be completely extracted by forceps biopsy (D) and the mucosal defect was closed using clips (E).
