Bronchopulmonary foregut malformation mimicking pseudocyst of pancreas.

We report a four-yr-old girl who was successfully treated for a large gastro-duodenal duplication that communicated with extra-lobar pulmonary sequestration on one end and the main pancreatic duct on the other. Such an association has not been reported hitherto.

Duodenal Duplication Cysts of Ampulla of Vater Containing Stone

Duodenal duplication cysts are rare congenital malformations. Most symptomatic cases are diagnosed in children and usually present with obstructive findings or bleeding symptoms. Treatment traditionally involves surgical resection, which can be often difficult because of the close proximity of the cysts to the papilla and bilopancreatic confluence. Endoscopic therapy has been used as an alternative to open surgery in a few selected cases. We report a case with a duodenal duplication cyst containing a brown pigmented stone within the cystic lumen. He was visited because of sudden right upper quadrant abdominal pain. An abdominal computed tomography revealed the presence of a cyst with a stone, which was finally removed by endoscopic resection.

A Case of Endoscopic Unroofing after Detachable Snare Ligation of a Duodenal Duplication Cyst / 대한소화기내시경학회지

A duodenal duplication cyst is rare congenital anomaly, which accounts for 5% of all gastrointestinal duplication cysts. Most of the duodenal duplication cysts are usually found during infancy or early childhood, and present with obstructive symptoms. The most common clinical manifestations are an intestinal obstruction or, less commonly, hemorrhage, perforation, biliary obstruction or pancreatitis. The traditional treatment of a duodenal duplication cyst has been complete surgical resection, but very few cases of endoscopic treatment of a duodenal duplication cyst have been previously reported recently in the literature. Moreover, endoscopic treatment of a duodenal duplication cyst has not been reported in Korea. We report our first experience of a duodenal duplication cyst, including diagnosis and endoscopic management with a detachable snare.

A Case of Juxtapapillary Duodenal Duplication Cyst Manifested by Recurrent Pancreatitis / 대한소화기내시경학회지

Duodenal duplication cyst is an uncommon congenital anomaly that is usually encountered during infancy or in early childhood. The clinical manifestation is that of duodenal obstruction or, less commonly, obstructive jaundice, acute pancreatitis, or gastrointestinal bleeding. Here, we report a case of duodenal duplication cyst on the juxtapapillary region in a 19-year-old woman with an unusual clinical manifestation of recurrent pancreatitis and peculiar endoscopic finding of the cyst.
