“…Duplication cysts are congenital malformations, probably resulting from faulty embryogenic budding or defective recanalization of the alimentary tube during early fetal life. 4 The criteria for the diagnosis of a duplication cyst include contiguity with the alimentary tract; a common blood supply (with the structure to which it is attached); an outer smooth muscle coat, which usually has a similar embryologic origin to the gastric or duodenal muscle coat; and a gastrointestinal-type epithelial lining (not necessarily the same as that of the adjacent gut). 5 Histologically, duplication cysts are fluid-filled cysts with a well-developed smooth muscle layer and mucous membrane lining.…”

We report the sonographic features of a duodenal duplication cyst containing ectopic pancreatic tissue in a 5-month-old boy who presented with symptoms of partial gastric outlet obstruction. Sonography revealed an anechoic, double-walled, bilobed cystic lesion containing debris in the pyloroduodenal region. There was sound through-transmission but no air or communication with the gastrointestinal tract. Surgical resection and histopathologic examination confirmed a duodenal duplication cyst containing pancreatic tissue.

“…2 DDCs are observed in less than 1 per 100,000 live births. 3 Review of the English literature reveals that the first case of a DDC was reported in 1967, 4 and subsequently over 120 cases have been reported, mostly as anecdotal case reports.…”

Introduction Duodenal duplication cysts (DDC) are rare congenital anomalies that usually present in infancy and childhood. Acute presentation in adults is even rarer. Case History We report a case of a 34-year-old man who presented with recurrent acute pancreatitis and was found to have a cystic lesion in the second part of his duodenum. Further investigations revealed communication between the cystic lesion and the distal common bile duct. We describe the details of the operative approach taken to resect the DDC. Discussion We describe the differential diagnoses and the criteria for diagnosing DDC. Management options for DDC are discussed along with our recommendations.

“…Symptoms may be vague and diverse, depending on the location of the duplication and include nonspecific pain, distention, dysphagia, jaundice and dyspepsia. A duplication cyst is a spherical tubular structure which possesses a smooth muscle layer, is lined by intestinal mucosa, and is attached to some portion of the alimentary tract 2. Additional different finding between DDC and choledochoceles was that the normal-looking papilla was always found on the proximal side of the protrusion in DDC, whereas, papilla is usually found on the distal side of the protrusion in choledochoceles.…”

Duodenal duplication cysts are rare congenital malformations. Most symptomatic cases are diagnosed in children and usually present with obstructive findings or bleeding symptoms. Treatment traditionally involves surgical resection, which can be often difficult because of the close proximity of the cysts to the papilla and bilopancreatic confluence. Endoscopic therapy has been used as an alternative to open surgery in a few selected cases. We report a case with a duodenal duplication cyst containing a brown pigmented stone within the cystic lumen. He was visited because of sudden right upper quadrant abdominal pain. An abdominal computed tomography revealed the presence of a cyst with a stone, which was finally removed by endoscopic resection.
