Gastrointestinal stromal tumors surrounding the esophagogastric junction are often challenging to resect, with no consensus regarding the optimal surgical technique. Here in, we present a case of concurrent gastric cancer in the antrum and gastrointestinal stromal tumors adjacent to the esophagogastric junction. The patient underwent simultaneous distal gastrectomy and local resection assisted by a surgical robot, avoiding the need for total gastrectomy. The utilization of robot-assisted surgery has become an increasingly popular technique, holding promise for simplifying complex surgical procedures across diverse medical settings.
