Journal of Radiology Case Reports, 2017
Gastric duplication cyst is a very rare congenital anomaly accounting up to 4% of all gastrointestinal tract duplications. It is a quite rare anomaly in adults, the majority of the cases are diagnosed in the neonatal period. Gastric duplication cysts are usually asymptomatic or they do present with nonspecific symptoms. They are usually discovered incidentally during endoscopy or laparotomy or very rarely after getting complicated. We describe herein, along with literature review, a case of an adult patient who presented with abdominal pain and bloody vomiting and turned out to have a gastric duplication cyst complicated by internal bleeding.

Background/Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties of gastric duplication cysts. Methods: A 38-year-old female patient presented with dyspepsia and repeated episodes of epigastric pain. She was operated with the diagnosis of pancreatic pseudocyst according to her US and CT scans, and found to have a gastric duplication cyst. A cyst about 80!80 mm, localized on the posterior wall of the corpus of the stomach close to the fundus, was dissected from the surrounding tissues and partially from the gastric wall. The cyst did not have muscle layer on the common wall with the stomach, so the cystic mucosa was stripped away from the gastric muscle layer. The gastric lumen was not entered. Results: Although gastric duplication cysts do not have specific symptoms and signs, CT, MR and endoscopic ultrasonography may help the preoperative diagnosis, but the diagnosis is usually confirmed at laparotomy. Needle aspiration may cause complications. Conclusion: Because of the complications that may occur after needle aspiration and malignant potential of the tissue, the treatment of these cysts is surgical.
A rare case of gastric duplication cyst in a male paediatric Caucasian patient: a case report
Journal of Surgical Case Reports
Anywhere in the alimentary canal, you can find a gastric duplication cyst, a spherical muscle formation lined by mucosal membrane. It is an uncommon example of a group of congenital intestinal abnormalities. Gastric cysts typically develop on the stomach’s greater curvature. A Caucasian 4-year-old boy came in with his family after experiencing colicky central stomach pain for 2 days, along with vomiting for 4 days, decreased oral intake, a temperature of up to 38.5°C and regular bowel movements. A region of the transverse colon with degraded and inflammatory serosa covered in omentum with black necrotic sections was seen during the procedure.
Gastric antral duplication cyst: A case report
Paediatrica Indonesiana, 2021
Alimentary tract duplications may be symptomatic or may be discovered incidentally. They are named for the organ with which they are associated.1 Congenital gastrointestinal (GI) tract duplication cysts are commonly located in the ileum (53%), mediastinum (18%), colon (13%), stomach (7%), duodenum (6%), rectum (4%), or oesophagus (2%)2. A single theory is insufficient to explain all types of duplications.3 Children may present with symptoms like vomiting, abdominal pain, lumps, or weight loss.4 The presence of ectopic gastric mucosa and the potential for malignancy remain matters of concern.2 Surgical management is essential for these rare cysts.5 We encountered a Bangladeshi boy with a gastric duplication cyst (GDC) that was pre-operatively diagnosed as a pancreatic cyst. A variety of imaging modalities failed to indicate GDC before the operation. Here we present the clinical course of the case and discuss the difficulties and problems in diagnosing GDC.
Gastric Duplication Cyst in 4 Years Male Child: A Rare Case Report
Journal of Nepal Paediatric Society
Gastric duplication cyst is an unusual congenital malformation of the gastrointestinal tract representing 4% of all alimentary tract duplications. Clinically the patients may remain asymptomatic or symptoms can be nonspecific, which include abdominal mass, pain, nausea and emesis. We report a four year old male child who presented with intermittent pain in abdomen. The child was evaluated for the same by radiology which suggested a duplication cyst in epigastric region. The child underwent excision for the same following which histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of gastric duplication cyst (Gastric mucosal cyst).
Gastric duplication Cyst in a Child - An insight
IP Archives of Cytology and Histopathology Research
Gastric duplication cyst is uncommon congenital anomaly in paediatric population with an incidence rate of 17 per million populations. Its diagnosis and treatment is challenging in infants and children for both the clinicians and the pathologists. Most of the cases, diagnosis is rendered on laparotomy followed by histopathology as could not be possible on clinical and imaging studies alone due to its varied presentation. The aim of this editorial is to highlight the morphology and rarity of gastric duplication cyst in children as less than 50 reported cases were available in literature.
An uncommon cause of acute abdomen: gastric duplication cyst
Acta Oncologica Turcica, 2018
Gastrik duplikasyon kistleri gastrointestinal sistemin nadir konjenital anomalilerindendir. Hastaların çoğu kusma, iştahsızlık ve beslenme bozukluğu ile başvurur. Olguların yarısı ilk yaş içerisinde tanı alır. Bu çalışmada akut batın sebebi ile başvuran ve gastrik duplikasyon kisti saptadığımız on yaşında ki bir olgu sunulmuştur. Çocuklarda nadir görülen gastrik duplikasyon kistlerinin akut batın nedeni olarak karşımıza çıkabileceği akılda tutulmalıdır. Anahtar Kelimeler: Gastrik duplikasyon kisti, akut batın, ayırıcı tanı ABSTRACT Gastric duplication cyst is a rare congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal system. Patients are mostly presented with vomiting, anorexia and malnutrition. Half of the cases are diagnosed in the first year of life. In this study, we report a 10 year old girl with gastric duplication cyst that was presented as acute abdomen.
Laparoscopic Resection of Multiple Gastric Duplication Cysts in an 8 year-old boy
Journal of Pediatric Surgery Case Reports, 2015
The aim of this report is to evaluate the feasibility of laparoscopic approach and safety of dissection by gastric duplication cysts. An 8-year-old boy with multiple gastric duplication cysts was operated laparoscopically. Laparoscopic resection was planned for using a 5 mm camera along with 3 more 5 mm and 3 mm instruments. Due to the location of the cysts a resection of the greater curve was performed. In order to avoid 2 different resections of the cysts, a greater curve sleeve resection was preferred. The laparoscopic greater curve resection was successfully accomplished without the necessity of a laparotomy incision. Postoperative period was uneventful and the patient was symptom free with an excellent cosmetic result. Laparoscopic approach for the gastric duplication cyst resection is a safe and feasible procedure and via laparoscopy the dissection on the posterior wall of fundus turns out to be easier.
