    Esophageal duplication cysts are rare benign tumors. Surgical excision is recommended for esophageal cysts upon discovery, regardless of symptoms, to prevent complications.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Pediatric Surgery

    Background:

    • Esophageal duplication cysts represent a small fraction of benign esophageal tumors.
    • These cysts are often asymptomatic, presenting diagnostic challenges.
    • Complications like bleeding or infection can lead to cyst enlargement and symptoms.

    Observation:

    • A case of an esophageal cyst is presented.
    • Diagnosis can be suggested by barium swallow and esophagoscopy.
    • Definitive histopathology requires surgical evaluation.

    Findings:

    • Esophageal duplication cysts are infrequently symptomatic.
    • Enlargement due to complications prompts medical attention.
    • Surgical excision is the recommended management.
