Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor Arising From a Gastric Duplication Cyst
نویسندگان
چکیده
Gastric duplication cysts (GDC) are rarely diagnosed in adults, but previous cases have been associated with malignancy. We present a case of gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) arising from a GDC in a 71-year-old woman who presented with 3 years of early satiety, anorexia, abdominal distention, and weight loss. Abdominal CT showed a 9.3 x 5.2 x 9.5-cm well-circumscribed cystic mass arising 3 cm above the gastroduodenal junction. The cyst was resected, and histopathology was consistent with GDC. Future studies are needed to clarify the malignant potential of GDC and the molecular pathways for its development.

Gastrointestinal duplication is a congenital rare disease entity. Duplication cyst of the stomach with pseudo stratified columnar ciliated epithelium is extremely rare. The very appearance of a gastric duplication cyst in an adult can present a diagnostic dilemma. In majority of reported cases, the diagnosis is established during surgical exploration. We report on a 34 year-old female patient s...

Gastric duplication cyst (GDC) with a pseudostratified columnar ciliated epithelium is an uncommon malformation supposed to originate from a respiratory diverticulum arising from the ventral foregut. Morphologic appearance of GDCs is variable, depending on the density of their contents. GDCs are often misdiagnosed as solid masses by imaging techniques, and as a consequence they may be wrongly o...

Gastric duplication cysts (GDC) lined with pseudostratified columnar ciliated epithelium (PCCE) are uncommon lesions that stem from a foregut developmental malformation. The clinical and radiological diagnosis is usually difficult. Definitive diagnosis can be established by histopathological examination. In this study, we report a rare case of a peri-gastric mass that was operated and reported ...
