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 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.

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.

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.

A case of perforated gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) of ileum causing acute abdomen is described, with a brief review of the literature. A male patient presented with symptoms of acute abdomen. After evaluation, a laparotomy was performed, where perforation of a tumor in the ileum was found. The tumor was attached to the ileal loop and also to the peritoneal attachment of the dome of urinary bladder. The tumor was resected with adjacent ileal loop and ileoileal anastomosis was done . On examining later revealed a perforation of small bowel at the site of tumor and histopathological examination showed that the tumor was GIST. Postoperative period was uneventful and the patient received treatment, using imatinib. Gastrointestinal stromal tumors are relatively rare and often present with vague symptoms. Their rst clinical manifestation as acute abdomen due to their perforation is extremely rare. In emergency laparotomy, a R0 resection is required and adjuvant therapy with imatinib must be considered.
