Gastric duplication cyst is a rare anomaly, and most cases are recognized during childhood. Recently, several pediatric cases with small gastric duplication cysts treated by laparoscopic resection have been reported.

To the best of our knowledge, this is the largest gastric duplication cyst treated by laparoscopic surgery among infants. We introduce our procedure and some tips.
