Duplication cyst of the stomach is a rare congenital malformation, typically diagnosed in the first year of life. In most adult cases the cyst remains asymptomatic, but patients may present with abdominal symptoms including epigastric discomfort or pain. We present a case of a 65-year-old male with an asymptomatic gastric tumor diagnosed incidentally during initial workup of his esophageal adenocarcinoma. Computed tomography revealed a low density soft tissue tumor near the gastroesophageal junction. Endoscopic ultrasonography demonstrated a cystic lesion as a hypoechoic round mass with well-defined borders. Following complete laparoscopic resection, microscopic review revealed a cyst lined with respiratory pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium and layers of smooth muscle with an outermost thin fibrous capsule consistent with a foregut duplication cyst.

AbstractHaemangioma of the parotid gland is a well-described condition that accounts for 50 per cent of parotid tumours presenting during the first year of life. Parotid haemangiomas in adults are much rarer and until now only the cavernous variety have been reported. We report a case of a capillary haemangioma in an adult and discuss the literature.

Abstract Intestinal malrotation presents as an emergency in the neonate and within the first year of life. Incomplete intestinal rotation may remain asymptomatic and undiagnosed. Adult patients are usually diagnosed incidentally while being investigated for nonspecific abdominal symptoms. We report a case of a 43-year-old female who presented with a 10-day history of paraumbilical abdominal pain. Computed tomography demonstrated features of incomplete intestinal rotation and a centrally located inflammatory mass related to the appendix. She underwent a laparotomy and appendectomy. Upon a brief literature review of similar cases, there seems to be a conflict of views regarding the management of incidentally diagnosed adult incomplete intestinal rotation.

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.

Duplication cysts are developmental anomalies of gastrointestinal tract that can occur at any level from the oral cavity to the rectum, and are extremely rare in the stomach. Most patients show symptom and findings in the first year of life. The most common symptom and findings are abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, anemia, weight loss and palpable mass. In this study, a gastric duplication cyst was presented in an 11-month-old patient.

✓ The first documented case of congenital supratentorial hemangioblastoma is presented, occurring in a 3-week-old infant. Extensive review of the literature revealed approximately 83 cases of supratentorial hemangioblastoma; however, only one of these occurred in the first year of life, and that case was not presented in detail.
