Gastric duplication associated with adenomyoma

Abstract

A case of gastric duplication associated with adenomyoma including ectopic pancreatic tissue in an adult patient is reported. The histologic features, diagnostic criteria, and pathogenesis are briefly discussed.

Gastric adenomyoma mimicking gastric duplication cyst in a 5-year-old girl

“…The differential diagnosis should include gastric gland heterotopias, duplication, submucosal cystic gland, gastritis cystic profunda, lymphoepithelial cyst, hypertrophic pyloric stenosis, and gastic cancer [2,[6][7][8][9]. Despite the development of newer diagnostic techniques including CT and endoscopic ultrasonography, preoperative diagnosis of adenomyoma is difficult.…”

“…Although gastric adenomyoma is usually asymptomatic, some complications have been reported, including formation of masses, inflammation, cystic degeneration, and malignant transformation [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9].…”

Broad ligament mucinous cystadenoma of borderline malignancy

“…It was first described by Magnus-Alsleben in 1903 and, up to 19 77, 3 3 further cases were reported (Lasser & Koufman 1977). To our knowledge, since then only a few additional cases had been reported (Taub & Horsburgh 1980, Floros et al 1982. The lesion is composed of smooth muscle, cysts and glandular structures lined by tall columnar epithelium, sometimes with Brunner's glands and pancreatic tissue.…”

Case Report: Gastric Adenomyoma: Definitely Benign or Defiantly Premalignant?

“…However, specific problems have been described, such as obstruction (17)(18)(19), bleeding (20), perforation (21), biliary fistula (22), and heterotopic pancreatitis with resulting pseudocyst (23), and gastric duplication (24,25). Most individuals affected are middle-aged adults, and there is no obvious gender predilection (9).…”
