A large gastric duplication (choristoma) in an adult mimicking a mucinous cystic tumor of the pancreas.

چکیده
Gastric duplication represents a very rare entity in the adult population. Most of the symptoms are due to the presence of ectopic gastric mucosa (30-35% of cases), gastrointestinal bleeding or perforation or neoplasm formation. We report a case of gastric duplication in an adult mimicking a mucinous cystic neoplasm of the pancreas.

Gastric duplication in an adult mimicking mucinous cystadenoma of the pancreas.
Gastric duplication cyst (GDC) in an adult can have several clinical presentations. A review of the literature showed previously reported cases of GDC presenting as pancreatic pseudocyst or with greatly raised concentrations of carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9). It is often difficult to discriminate GDC from pancreatic cystic tumour, in particular pancreatic mucinous cystadenoma, in which con...
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...
متن کاملDiagnostic 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 کاملMR Images and H MR Spectroscopy of Enteric Duplication Cyst of the Pancreas in an Adult
Enteric duplication is an ectopic cyst or a tubular structure composed of smooth muscles surrounding mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract (1). Most cases of duplication are present before the age of 2 years as an acute abdomen or bowel obstruction (2). Diagnosis of duplication cyst is uncommon in adults, and enteric duplication within the pancreas is especially uncommon and difficult to diagnos...
متن کاملCiliated enteric duplication cyst presenting as a pancreatic cystic neoplasm: report of a case with cyst fluid analysis.
Pancreatic cysts include inflammatory pseudocysts, cystic tumors (serous and mucinous), and various rare cystic lesions. We report a case of a ciliated enteric duplication cyst that presented on computed tomographic scan as a pancreatic cystic neoplasm. Cyst fluid analysis revealed markedly increased concentrations of carcinoembryonic antigen and CA 125 and increased fluid viscosity. These feat...
