“…12,15 The CECT shows GDC as a thick-walled cystic lesion with enhancement of the inner lining. 16,17 Calcification is occasionally observed on CT. 9,10 In our patient, ultrasonography of the whole abdomen was suggestive of a cystic lesion in the right hypochondriac region, and CT scan was most consistent with a pancreatic pseudocyst or duplication cyst, while MRCP findings were indicative of a duplication cyst. However, confirmation of GDC was only made during surgery.…”

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.

Imaging features of gastrointestinal tract duplications in infants and children: from oesophagus to rectum

et al. 2007

Gastrointestinal tract duplications are uncommon congenital abnormalities arising anywhere along the alimentary tract. The most common modalities used to image duplications are US and contrast medium examinations. CT and MRI are less often used, but can be helpful in difficult cases that require a multiplanar approach. In this article, we discuss and illustrate a wide spectrum of gastrointestinal tract duplications from the oesophagus to the rectum, and illustrate the associated abnormalities of gastrointestinal tract duplications.

“…Contrast-enhanced CT typically demonstrates GDC as a thick-walled cystic lesion with enhancement of the inner lining (8,9). Calcification is occasionally observed on CT (6,10 (6,11). According to reports of cases for which endoscopic fine needle aspiration biopsy was carried out, diagnosis is relatively easier when the pseudostratified ciliated epithelium was obtained (12).…”
