Diagnostic challenge to distinguish gastric duplication cyst from pancreatic cystic lesions in adult.
We report herein a 63-year-old female with gastric duplication cyst (GDC), of which resected specimen was histologically shown to be composed of gastric foveolar epithelium and thin bundles of smooth muscle. Computed tomography revealed a thin-walled cystic lesion surrounded by the pancreatic tail, spleen, left kidney, and the stomach. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a thin layer betwee...
متن کاملCystic Hygroma in an Adult Male: A Diagnostic Challenge
Cystic Hygroma is a well-recognized lesion in paediatric patients but it is very rare in adults. We report here a case of Cervical Cystic Hygroma in a 45 yr old male. The reasons to present this case are 1) Its rarity in adults 2) Unusual age of presentation 3) Simulates various benign and malignant lesions at this site 4) Is a diagnostic challenge and 5) Role of histology for definitive postop...

Most of the duplications (82%) are cystic and do not communicate with the stomach. Approximately half of the cases are associated with other congenital anomalies. We report a 59-year-old woman operated on for a pancr...
متن کاملGastric Duplication Cyst With Elevated Amylase: An Unusual Presentation Mimicking Pancreatic Cystic Neoplasm
Enteric duplication cysts (EDCs) are benign congenital anomalies that are found incidentally in adults. Gastric duplication cysts (GDCs) are the least common subtype of EDC, but when located near the pancreas, may resemble other neoplastic conditions. We report a case of GDC adjacent to the pancreas with high cystic fluid amylase and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and 3 different epithelia (res...

Duplication cysts of the stomach are uncommon findings in adult patients and diagnosis is often overlooked. Presenting symptoms are often non-specific, but complications, including chronic infections, ruptures or carcinoma arising in the cyst, are rare. We report a case of a non-communicating cyst of the stomach in a 67-year-old man.
