Abstract Endoscopic ultrasound‐guided sampling is indicated to achieve an accurate diagnosis of subepithelial lesions of the stomach when a standard biopsy fails. Gastric carcinoma with lymphoid stroma (GCLS) is located under the epithelial layer with dense lymphocytic infiltration, making a pathological diagnosis by a biopsy difficult. We herein report a case of the pathological diagnosis of GCLS using an endoscopic ultrasound‐guided fine‐needle biopsy. The patient underwent distal gastrectomy and was diagnosed with Epstein‐Barr virus‐negative cancer.
