Abstract
Dear Editor,
Duplication cysts are uncommon congenital abnormalities of the gastrointestinal tract occurring anywhere from the mouth to the anus. The most common location is the ileum followed by the oesophagus, jejunum, stomach and colon (1). Gastric duplication cysts are rare, accounting for 4 to 8% of all gastrointestinal duplication cysts (2). In more than 50% of cases, they are associated with congenital malformations and it is important to perform a differential diagnosis against other conditions, especially tumours with a cystic component.
