Abstract EN
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.
