“…[36] Some experts also recommend close surveillance alone when the diagnosis has been confirmed by needle aspiration, but no standard regimen for surveillance exists. [37] Indeed, consensus on whether these lesions need to be followed at all does not exist at this time.…”

Gastrointestinal tract duplication cysts are rare congenital gastrointestinal malformation in young patients and adults. They consist of foregut duplication cysts, small bowel duplication cysts, and large bowel duplication cysts. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) has been widely used as a modality for the evaluation and diagnosis of duplication cysts. EUS is the diagnostic tool of choice to investigate duplication cysts since it can distinguish between solid and cystic lesions. The question of whether or not to perform EUS-fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) on a lesion suspected of being a duplication cyst is controversial as these lesions can become infected with significant consequences, although EUS-FNA is often required to obtain a definitive diagnosis and to rule out more ominous lesions. This manuscript will review the literature on duplication cysts throughout the body and will also focus on the role of EUS and FNA with regards to these lesions.

The aim of the study was to consider the qualifications necessary for the procedure, the surgical treatment, and the long-term results. Material and methods. During the period between 1990 and 2005, twenty-five patients with benign esophageal tumors underwent treatment. Clinical symptoms, the size and localization of the tumor, and histological type were considered in cases of patients qualified for surgical intervention. Not all patients with esophageal leiomyomas were subjected to preoperative verification. Intraoperative endoscopic examinations identified the pathology, especially in cases of small lesions. Results. Patients diagnosed with esophageal leiomyomas were subjected to tumor enucleation. In cases of Abrikosow's tumor (three patients), the tumor was removed with the esophageal wall. Four patients underwent endoscopic resection. Esophageal fistulas during the perioperative period were not observed. Mortality was not observed during patient hospitalization. None of the cases presented recurrence or malignant transformation. Conclusions. Surgical treatment is the method of choice for treating benign esophageal tumors. During the postoperative period, neither disease recurrence nor malignant transformation was observed.
