Endoscopic submucosal dissection with ductotomy for the resection of a gastric duplication cyst with a communicating duct

Year: 2022

Type: article

Abstract: A 40-year-old otherwise healthy woman with persistent upper abdominal pain was found to have a 3-cm subepithelial lesion in the prepyloric area and was referred to our center (Fig. 1). EUS showed an anechoic cyst in the submucosa with well-defined outer sonographic borders suggesting a gastric duplication cyst (GDC) (Fig. 2). The cyst was completely aspirated and yielded 40 mL of serous fluid with negative cytology for malignancy. The patient’s symptoms resolved for 3 weeks but then recurred. A CT scan showed the cystic lesion with diameters of 3.2 × 1.2 × 1.1 cm.
