Gastric Duplication Cyst Mimicking a Liver Cyst Case Report and Review of the Literature

Gastric duplication is a relatively rare congenital anomaly, representing approximately 4-9% of gastrointestinal duplications1. It occurs more in females than males2. Typically, they are spherical cystic masses along the greater curvature or the posterior aspect of the stomach which are not communicating with its cavity. Less commonly, the anomaly is tubular in shape and has a communication with the stomach. Gastric duplications may be also located along the anterior or posterior wall of the stomach or in the cardia or pylorus3
