Alimentary tract duplications, though rare in adults, necessitate surgical removal. This case highlights a complete esophageal and gastric duplication in a 53-year-old man, emphasizing the need for awareness in adult diagnosis.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Congenital Abnormalities
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Alimentary tract duplications are uncommon congenital malformations, predominantly diagnosed in children.
  • While rare, these duplications can manifest in adults and typically require surgical intervention for resolution.

Observation:

  • A 53-year-old male presented with nonspecific gastrointestinal symptoms.
  • Diagnostic evaluation revealed a complete duplication of the esophagus and stomach.
  • This duplication exhibited direct communication with the normal alimentary tract.

Findings:

  • The duplicated segment was lined with epithelium appropriate for its location (esophageal and gastric).
  • Histological examination confirmed the presence of normal tissue within the duplication.

Implications:

  • This case underscores that alimentary tract duplications can present atypically in adults with vague symptoms.
  • Recognition of adult-onset duplications is crucial for timely diagnosis and surgical management.
  • Understanding the anatomy and presentation of these anomalies aids in surgical planning and patient outcomes.
