Gastric Duplication Cyst Mimicking Pancreatic Pseudocyst/Hydatid Cyst: A Rare Presentation

Authors: PRASAD SEETHARAM, GABRIEL RODRIGUES

Abstract: Congenital gastrointestinal duplications are rare, and gastric duplication cysts are even rarer. Most cases are seldom diagnosed preoperatively. We present a case of gastric duplication cyst, which in preoperative imaging studies mimicked a hydatid/pseudocyst of the pancreas. The diagnosis was made only intraoperatively and was confirmed by histopathological examination of the completely excised cyst.
