The aim of this study was to present a case of enteric duplication cyst and criteria for a proper differential diagnosis. A 51-year-old male was hospitalized for pancreatic tail neoplasm and distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy was performed. During surgery, a jejunal cystic lesion was incidentally detected and jejunectomy was performed. Microscopically, the cyst was observed to be covered by...

Intrapancreatic enteric duplication cysts are exceedingly rare, and the clinical presentation varies. We present a 48-year-old man with significant alcohol and tobacco abuse and a diagnosis of groove pancreatitis complicated by a pancreatic duct stricture, pseudocyst, and recurrent biliary obstruction. Due to failure of endoscopic therapy and concerning findings on endoscopic ultrasound with ne...

The development of intra- and extrahepatic bile duct stones has been reported as one of the most serious complications after choledochal cyst excision with biliary-enteric reconstruction through Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy (HJ). Here, we report our experience with extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) in a case of giant intrahepatic stones developing after choledochal cyst surgery. ESW...

In the literature, CC presenting with PH has not been addressed adequately and there is a paucity of literature on CC complicated by PH. Gastrointestinal bleeding, splenomegaly or incidental discovery of esophageal varices led to the diagnosis of associated PH. Excision of CC and bilio-enteric bypass may not be feasible in those patients as there is a formation of massive collaterals in the reg...
