Abstract (2. Language):
Duplication cysts are rare congenital developmental anamolies of the gastrointestinal tract, the etiology
of which is not completely understood. Multiple theories have been proposed to explain their existence
including partial twinning, in utero ischemic events, and abnormal endoderm and notochord
separation. Complications including infection, intussusception, and perforation can occur. Rarely,
these duplications cysts may undergo neoplastic changes. In this report, we present the case of a 40-
year-old male with a gastric duplication cyst who presented with vague postprandial dull-aching
epigastric pain. Gastric duplication cyst was diagnosed with upper GI endoscopy and CT scan. The
cyst was removed by simple excision and patient has remained symptom-free on follow up.
