Abstract

A gastric duplication cyst (GDC) is an uncommon gastrointestinal (GI) tract anomaly in adults. Nonspecific symptoms make it difficult to diagnose, while radiological examination might be helpful. However, the final diagnosis is made after eradication and histopathological study. Herein we report a case of an asymptomatic, incidentally diagnosed gastric duplication cyst discovered during laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy in a 55-year-old female.

Keywords: gastric duplication cyst; sleeve gastrectomy.
