Abstract:
A gastric cystic duplication was found in a 83 year old patient; the cyst was located on the posterior wall of the stomach and required a total gastrectomy. Gastric duplications are usually discovered during the first year of life. They are located in the greater curvature. It's common the cystic form without communication with the gastric lumen. Due to its rarity, in most cases the diagnosis is made at laparotomy.
