We report here on the use of the new fine‐needle aspiration biopsy under endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS), developed in the course of our research into an EUS‐guided puncture. From a specimen obtained using this method, a submucosal tumor of the stomach was identified as a leiomyosarcoma by histologic examination. As our equipment for aspiration biopsy was confirmed to be useful, we hope to establish a new system of EUS diagnosis by collecting more clinical data and improving the technique and instruments further.
