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.

Gastrointestinal (GI) duplication cysts are a rare congenital disease. They may involve any level of the alimentary tract, but they most commonly involve the ileum, esophagus, and jejunum. Gastric duplication cysts represent approximately 4–8% of GI duplication cysts, the majority of which present in early childhood. We present a rare case of adult gastric duplication cyst in a 25-year-old female found to have abdominal mass on computed tomography imaging. There are several potential methods to diagnose gastric duplication cyst and treatment of choice is complete surgical resection.

A 37-year-old (G4P3) woman was referred to our hospital at 32 weeks of gestation for the evaluation of a fetus with an intrathoracic cystic lesion. Ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed that a fetal cystic lesion without a mucosal layer was located in the posterior mediastinum. These findings were consistent with a bronchogenic cyst. At 38 3/7 weeks of gestation, an elective cesarean section was performed because of her previous cesarean section. A female neonate without any external anomalies, weighing 2,442 g, with Apgar scores of 8 and 9, and requiring no resuscitation was born. Four weeks after delivery, the neonate was admitted because of respiratory distress due to mass effect. At right lateral thoracotomy, a 105 × 65 mm of solitary smooth-walled cyst containing serosanguineous fluid was found in the posterior mediastinum, which was excised completely. Histologic examination revealed the diagnosis of the mediastinal gastric duplication cyst. The neonate made an uneventful recovery. Accurate diagnosis is not necessary, but detection and continuous observation are logical. Although gastric duplication, particularly intrathoracic, is a rare pathology, it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of any intrathoracic cyst.

Alimentary tract duplications may be symptomatic or may be discovered incidentally. They are named for the organ with which they are associated.1 Congenital gastrointestinal (GI) tract duplication cysts are commonly located in the ileum (53%), mediastinum (18%), colon (13%), stomach (7%), duodenum (6%), rectum (4%), or oesophagus (2%)2. A single theory is insufficient to explain all types of duplications.3 Children may present with symptoms like vomiting, abdominal pain, lumps, or weight loss.4 The presence of ectopic gastric mucosa and the potential for malignancy remain matters of concern.2 Surgical management is essential for these rare cysts.5 We encountered a Bangladeshi boy with a gastric duplication cyst (GDC) that was pre-operatively diagnosed as a pancreatic cyst. A variety of imaging modalities failed to indicate GDC before the operation. Here we present the clinical course of the case and discuss the difficulties and problems in diagnosing GDC.
