Gastrointestinal duplication cysts are rare congenital anomalies that can be seen in anywhere of the gastrointestinal system from the mouth to the anus. These are prenatally diagnosed through antenatal ultrasonography. However, attention must be paid since these formations might be confused with ovarian or mesenteric cysts. Our patient, who had been diagnosed with ovarian cyst on the ultrasonography performed in another center and with mesenteric cyst based on the abdominal MRI carried out at fifth month of life, presented to our clinic with the only complaint of constipation at 9th month of life. The diagnosis was set through double wall appearance of duplication cyst on the abdominal ultrasonography. The patient’s cyst was resected.

Enteric duplication cysts are rare congenital anomalies that are prenatally diagnosed through antenatal ultrasonography (US). In female patients, however, attention must be paid since these formations might be confused with ovarian cysts. Herein, we present a case of a low birth weight female infant with an enteric duplication cyst. A cystic lesion was detected in the right abdomen of the fetus on antenatal US and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Serial US and MRI examinations performed after birth showed a single cyst that wandered from side to side in the abdomen; the initial diagnosis was thought to be an ovarian cyst. During laparotomy, however, it was found to be an enteric duplication cyst with volvulus. To our knowledge, there has been no report of an enteric duplication cyst presenting as a wandering abdominal mass. Our experience indicates that early intervention is necessary for patients who have a wandering abdominal mass to avoid complications and urgent surgery, whether it is an ovarian cyst or an enteric duplication cyst.

Gastrointestinal duplication cysts are rare lesions that typically present with acute abdomen in childhood. They are rare in adults, with only a few adult cases having been reported thus far. Adults with these lesions are usually asymptomatic or manifest with subtle abdominal symptoms. They may, however, also present with obstruction, bleeding, perforation, or malignancy. Herein, we aimed to report a case of ileal duplication cyst at adult age that presenting with symptoms of acute abdomen and reviewed the reported cases of adult age duplication cysts.

Gastrointestinal duplication cysts are uncommon congenital malformations, with small intestine being the most common site, followed by colon and stomach. It can have variable presentations such as intestinal obstruction, bleeding, palpable mass, or rarely volvulus. Here, the authors report a case of intussusception in a two-year-old child, presented with complaints of bilious vomiting and abdominal distension for three days with X-ray features suggestive of bowel obstruction. Ultrasonography revealed intussusception with ileal duplication cyst as the lead point, which was confirmed on exploratory laparotomy. In a paediatric patient, enteric duplication cyst should be included in the differential diagnosis of a cystic lesion as the lead point in intussusception.

The pathologic, clinical and radiologic features, diagnosis and treatment of mesenteric cysts in infancy and childhood, based upon a study of 82 cases in the literature, are discussed. An additional case of mesenteric cyst is presented. Mesenteric cysts were usually noted in male children from 2 to 10 years of age, presenting with abdominal enlargement and abdominal pain, and revealing characteristic roentgenographic findings. Excision of the cyst was often complicated by adhesions to the intestinal wall; simultaneous resection of the involved intestine has become a safe procedure, with an operative mortality of 7% in recent years.

Mesenteric cysts are rare and occur in patients of any age. They are asymptomatic and found incidentally or during the management of their complications. They commonly originate from the small bowel mesentery, although a proportion of them have been found to originate from the mesocolon (24%) and the retroperitoneum [1] [2,3,4,5] (14.5%). A mesenteric cyst originating in the sigmoid mesocolon is a very rare nding. They are a rare cause of abdominal pain and are discovered incidentally. If symptomatic, patients with these cysts present with abdominal pain, vomiting and low backache. Performing a thorough physical examination and conducting radiological investigations like ultrasonography (USG), computed tomography (CT) are keys in diagnosing the mesenteric cysts.

Incomplete intestinal fixation or malrotation of gut with midgut volvulus is one of the important causes of bilious vomiting in neonates. The incidence of malrotation of gut in population is 4% and that of duplication cyst is 1:4500. Patients with malrotation are prone to develop midgut volvulus due to their narrow mesenteric base demanding urgent surgical intervention. Common associated anomalies are intrinsic duodenal obstruction, internal hernias, caecal volvulus, anorectal malformations and Hirschsprung’s disease. The present case refers to a 4-day-old neonate who presented with malrotation of gut with reverse volvulus and an associated gastrointestinal duplication cyst, which is a rare association with only few reported case reports. After imaging with ultrasound and contrast radiograph, the baby underwent prompt surgical intervention in the form of Ladd’s procedure with resection and anastomosis of jejunal duplication cyst.

Gastrointestinal duplication is a rare congenital disease which affected more commonly the ileum, while the stomach is rarely involved. Generally diagnosed in paediatric or young age, it could be difficult to suspect a gastrointestinal duplication in adults. Herein, we report a 55-year-old male with a gastric duplication cyst found on routinely checkup for chronic hepatitis and first misdiagnosed as a gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST); we also discuss its embryology.
