“…2 8 10 These cysts are closely associated with the walls of gastrointestinal organs anywhere along the alimentary tract from the oesophagus to the rectum. 2 8 In contrast to human beings, where duodenal duplication cysts account for 4 per cent of enteric duplication cases, 11 and dogs where they occurred in 20 per cent of cases, [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] four out of eight reported feline cases of enteric duplication cysts were located in the duodenum. 1 3 26-31 They are typically regarded as benign lesions; however, one case of malignant transformation has been described in a cat.…”

This report details a cat with a duodenal duplication cyst in the region of the right distal pancreas. The cat presented with vomiting, anorexia, pancreatitis and a palpable abdominal mass that was visible on abdominal ultrasound as a thick-rimmed, cavitated structure with echogenic contents. As such, an initial clinical diagnosis of pancreatic abscess or cyst was suspected. After an exploratory coeliotomy to assess the lesion, a definitive diagnosis of duodenal duplication cyst was determined based on the histopathological findings of a wall with features of the intestinal tract and no communication with the intestinal lumen. The clinical signs, physical examination findings and advanced imaging characteristics of pancreatic abscess and duodenal duplication cyst are discussed in this report to aid clinicians with differentiating between these two rare lesions.

A 10-month-old German Shepherd Dog presented for evaluation of intermittent vomiting. Abdominal radiographs revealed a marked right cranial mass effect. Initial differentials included abscess/cyst or less likely neoplasia from undetermined origin. On abdominal ultrasound the mass appeared cystic and thin walled. Computed tomography revealed a large cystic lesion originating from the pyloroduodenal junction causing pyloric outflow obstruction. A noncommunicating duodenal duplication cyst was found on exploratory laparotomy and further confirmed with histopathology and immunohistochemistry. Enteric duplication cyst should be considered as a differential in young dogs with gastrointestinal signs and a cystic abdominal mass detected with different imaging modalities.
