“…Kremer et al [3] described 9 cases, of which only one involved an adult patient. In gastrointestinal duplications, the most commonly involved organs are the small intestine (45%) and esophagus (19%) [4].…”

BackgroundGastric duplication cysts are rare congenital abnormalities, and malignant transformation of these duplications is also thought to be rare.Case presentationDuring a routine health checkup, a 28-year-old man underwent abdominal sonography followed by computed tomography (CT) with contrast agent, which revealed a cystic lesion with no enhancement. Laparoscopic surgery showed a 10 × 10 cm cyst adhering to the gastric corpus. However, attempts to remove the lesion en bloc were unsuccessful, and the ruptured cyst had contaminated the peritoneal cavity. Gastric duplication was diagnosed from microscopic examination of the cyst. Seven months later, the patient suffered a progressive increase in ascites, and repeated cytological analysis showed small nests of adenocarcinoma cells, with primary lesion unknown. Diagnostic laparoscopy showed multiple white nodules scattered over the surface of the liver, greater omentum, and peritoneum. Biopsy of the omental nodules confirmed adenocarcinoma, while carcinomatosis was diagnosed in the peritoneum.ConclusionsClinical presentation and chronological developments indicated that the malignancy probably originated from the gastric duplication cyst. This case highlights the importance of accurate preoperative diagnosis and optimal surgical management for gastric duplication as well as considering the potential existence of malignant transformation during surgical evaluation of adult patients with gastric duplication cysts.

“…They are typically found on the greater curvature or posterior stomach wall, more commonly cystic than tubular, and although they are attached to the stomach, they do not typically communicate with the lumen [10]. Gastric duplication cysts often present with vomiting, vague abdominal pain, and occasionally a palpable abdominal mass identified on physical examination.…”

“…The surgical treatment must be individualized and varies from single excision with or without a margin of normal stomach, as in our case, to total gastrectomy. Drainage procedures must be avoided if possible, and asymptomatic cysts should be removed because of inflammatory complications that may follow [2,3,5]. …”

“…Criteria for the diagnosis of duplications include proximity to the normal alimentary tract, sharing of a common blood supply, and usually, a common muscular coat and a lining of alimentary epithelium [6]. Surgical treatment is recommended, and total excision should be employed whenever possible [5].…”

Asymptomatic gastric duplication in a child: report of a new case and review of the literature

Antral duplication cyst with an antral mucosal lining accounts for 2.2% of all gastric duplications, which represent 4-8% of all alimentary tract duplications. They usually become symptomatic before 2 years of age. We report a 6-year-old child with no previous history of symptoms who was admitted to our hospital because of frequent vomiting and acute abdominal pains for the previous 2 days. Abdominal examination revealed a mass in the epigastric area.
