Abstract
RAMIREZ-MORIN, Martín A. et al. Gastric duplication cyst: unusual presentation in adults, successfully treated by laparoscopy. Cir. cir. [online]. 2020, vol.88, suppl.2, pp.35-37. Epub Feb 08, 2022. ISSN 2444-054X. https://doi.org/10.24875/ciru.20000203.
Gastrointestinal duplications are rare congenital malformations, they can appear in different parts of the gastrointestinal tract, of variable size and symptomatology. Gastric duplications represent 3-5% of these malformations, the most frequent presentation is statistical, located mostly in the greater curvature, the diagnosis is rare in adulthood, the treatment of choice is surgical, which can be carried out in a conventional or minimally invasive manner. We present the case of an adult woman diagnosed with a gastric duplication cyst in the gastric fundus adjacent to the gastroesophageal junction, who underwent total resection by laparoscopy.
