anomaly expressed as bronchial or esophageal cysts and usually develops above the diaphragm, however on rare occasions, does occur below the diaphragm (1). Ciliated cysts are considered benign, but are radiologically difficult to differentiate from a malignant neoplasm, which is a cystic structure in or adjacent to the gallbladder (2). To our knowledge, only a few cases of gallbladder cysts tha...

Esophageal duplication cysts are rare congenital abnormalities of the foregut and may be associated with other conditions. Association of esophageal duplication with Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) has not been reported in children. We are reporting a case of a 16 months baby who had antenatal diagnosis of diaphragmatic hernia. Postnatal CTchest, however, suggested a distal esophageal d...

Benign esophageal lesions include a wide variety of rare neoplasms, polyps, and cysts. In general, these lesions are asymptomatic and have little clinical importance. However, on occasion these lesions become symptomatic due to esophageal obstruction, airway obstruction, or compression of mediastinal structures. In these cases, as well as cases when it is unclear if the lesion is malignant or b...

Esophageal duplication cyst is a rare congenital anomaly resulting from a foregut budding error during the fourth to sixth week of embryonic development. Cervical esophageal duplication cysts are very rare and may cause respiratory distress in infancy. A full-term newborn girl who was born by normal delivery was transferred to our hospital because of swelling of the right anterior neck since bi...

Abstract Background Esophageal duplication cysts are rare entities with a spectrum of clinical presentation. Adults usually asymptomatic. Surgical management is preferred. We present our experience 16 esophageal cysts. Methods A retrospective cohort analysis all cyst patients was performed at centre from January 2012 to December 2022. Variables collected include patient demographics, operative ...

Confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE) is a new endoscopic imaging technology that allows real-time, high-resolution observation of tomographic images mucosal cells and subcellular levels in vivo, detecting microscopic structural changes morphology, its vivo immediate pathological diagnostic capability can avoid delays diagnosis reduce the pain caused by repeated biopsies. CLE known as “optical bi...

Esophageal duplication cysts (EDCs) are congenital malformations of the posterior primitive foregut and often within the thoracic esophagus. Here we describe a rare case of intra-abdominal EDC near spleen in a 20-year-old female patient with a complaint of an asymptomatic abdominal mass for 5 years. The diagnosis of intra-abdominal EDC was confirmed by the Ultrasonography (US) and Magnetic reso...
