A Case Report and Review of the Literature of Adult Gastric Duplication Cyst

Abstract: Gastrointestinal (GI) duplication cysts are a rare congenital disease. They may involve any level of the alimentary tract, but they most commonly involve the ileum, esophagus, and jejunum. Gastric duplication cysts represent approximately 4–8% of GI duplication cysts, the majority of which present in early childhood. We present a rare case of adult gastric duplication cyst in a 25-year-old female found to have abdominal mass on computed tomography imaging. There are several potential methods to diagnose gastri… Show more

“…Endoscopic ultrasound is another useful tool in the diagnosis of lesions deriving from the gastric wall and can distinguish their origin as follows: inner echogenic mucosal and outer hypoechoic muscle layers are typical of gastric duplications [9]. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) is also used in order to rule out malignancy, however, its use remains controversial, as elevated levels of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and cancer antigen (CA) 19-9 have been found in samples of benign lesions [9,10]. The differential diagnosis includes gastrointestinal stromal tumors, neuroendocrine tumors, pancreatic heterotopia, pancreatic cystic lesions, and mesenteric cysts among others [9,[11][12][13].…”

“…Duplication cysts of the alimentary tract are rare embryologic anomalies. The ileum and ileocecum were the most commonly affected, whereas gastric duplication cyst is highly uncommon with an incidence of 4–8% among all alimentary duplication cysts 13. Most gastric duplication cysts occur in the greater curvature of the stomach.…”

“…Surgical resection is suggested for symptomatic GDC cases, but controversy surrounds asymptomatic ones. Some scholars also recommended surgery for asymptomatic cases due to the potential for neoplastic transformation [12,19]. Partial gastrectomy or cystectomy, whether through open surgery or laparoscopy, is often the preferred approach for managing patients with GDC [20].…”
