A rare enteric duplication cyst caused biliary obstruction in a 46-year-old man. Surgical removal via pancreaticoduodenectomy was successful, highlighting imaging and management strategies for this condition.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology and Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Intrapancreatic tumors can cause biliary obstruction, necessitating accurate diagnosis and surgical intervention.
  • Enteric duplication cysts are rare congenital anomalies that can occur throughout the gastrointestinal tract, including the pancreas.

Observation:

  • A 46-year-old male presented with symptoms of biliary obstruction.
  • Diagnostic imaging revealed an intrapancreatic mass.
  • The patient underwent a pancreaticoduodenectomy (Whipple procedure).

Findings:

  • Pathology confirmed the intrapancreatic mass to be an enteric duplication cyst.
  • The surgical management was successful in relieving the obstruction.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering rare diagnoses like enteric duplication cysts in the differential for intrapancreatic masses causing biliary obstruction.
