Endophytic submucosal masses at anatomically difficult locations such as lesser curve of the stomach, juxta-gastroesophageal junction and duodenum are challenging to resect laparoscopically due to proximity of vital structures and difficulty to visualise them. To overcome these limitations, we describe a technique of endoscopic tattooing with indocyanine green (ICG) injection into the lesion allowing easy identification and oncological resection in a minimally invasive manner.
