Reviewer's report:
Dear Authors,
Re: Diagnostic challenges of inflammatory submucosal tumor-like lesions: a multicenter
propensity score-matching analysis
Thank you for submitting the revised version of your manuscript and addressing the points
raised in the initial round of peer review. I have carefully reviewed your responses, the
updated manuscript, figures, tables, and supplementary materials. Overall, your revisions
have significantly improved the manuscript's clarity, methodological transparency, and clinical
relevance. The study provides a valuable contribution to the literature on diagnostic strategies
for inflammatory submucosal tumor-like lesions (I-SMTLs), a rarely addressed yet clinically
important subset of submucosal lesions.
You have satisfactorily addressed all seven major concerns from the first-round review. your
manuscript presents a rigorous multicenter analysis with important clinical implications for the
diagnosis and management of I-SMTLs.  All previous concerns have been appropriately and
comprehensively addressed.
Thank you
