Gastrointestinal duplication is a rare congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal tract. Gastric duplication cysts (GDCs) are uncommon in adults, and most cases are discovered incidentally. Here, we report a fortuitous discovery of a rare case of an asymptomatic noncommunicating GDC in an adult revealed after an endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration of a suspected mucinous cystadenoma of the pancreas. A 34-year-old female presented with renal colic. Her abdominal examination was normal. She presented a cystic image at the left lumbar discovered fortuitously during ultrasonography. On uro-computed tomography, there was a suspicion of a pancreatic cystadenoma. Magnetic resonance imaging of the pancreas suggested a mucinous cystadenoma of the pancreatic tail. The endoscopic ultrasound showed a cystic thick-walled formation in the tail of the pancreas. After guided fine-needle aspiration, a split aspect of the gastric wall appeared evoking a GDC. The cytology showed epithelial cells without mucin. Three years later, the patient does not have any gastrointestinal symptoms. GDCs are a rare anomaly, and accurate diagnosis of these cysts is difficult. Surgical resection can offer a definitive diagnosis. The mainstay of treatment is surgery to avoid the risk of malignancy.

Introduction and Importance: Duplications are the abnormal portion of the intestine, either externally attached to the intestine or intrinsically placed within the bowel lumen. Their prevalence is noted to be around one in 25,000 deliveries. The rare gastrointestinal tract duplication may be located in any part of the gastrointestinal system from the oral cavity to the anus. The most common site of enteric duplication cyst is the terminal part of the ileum. Hence, duplications in jejunum are rare. Case Presentation: Hereby, we report a case of jejunal duplication cyst in a female neonate which was managed successfully via surgery and adequate post-operative care without any complications. Clinical Discussion: Duplications are more frequently single. They are usually located in the mesenteric border of the associated native bowel and may vary in shape and size. Most of them are cystic, followed by tubular and mixed type, with or without other congenital anomalies. More than 80% of the cases present before the age of 2 years as an acute abdomen or bowel obstruction, but many duplications remain silent unless complications occur, and therefore may not be diagnosed until adulthood. Complications of enteric duplication cysts include volvulus, bleeding, and, rarely, malignant degeneration. Conclusion: It is important for pediatric surgeons to include duplication cyst in the differential diagnosis if a neonate presents with features of intestinal obstruction.
