Summary
Gastric duplication cysts are rare congenital malformations. This case highlights successful endoscopic submucosal dissection for a gastric duplication cyst presenting as a submucosal tumor, with no recurrence.
Area of Science:
- Gastroenterology
- Surgical Pathology
Background:
- Duplication cysts are rare congenital anomalies affecting the alimentary tract.
- Gastric duplication cysts are exceptionally uncommon, with the stomach being a rare site of occurrence.
Observation:
- A 28-year-old male presented with a year of dyspepsia.
- Upper endoscopy identified an ellipsoid submucosal tumor on the greater curvature of the gastric antrum.
Findings:
- Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) was successfully performed to remove the gastric lesion.
- Histopathology confirmed the lesion to be a 0.6×0.6 cm duplication cyst.
- No recurrence was observed during a 2-year follow-up period.
Implications:
- This case demonstrates the feasibility and efficacy of ESD for treating gastric duplication cysts.
- Early diagnosis and appropriate endoscopic management are crucial for favorable outcomes.
- Highlights the importance of considering rare diagnoses in submucosal gastric lesions.
