Gastric duplication Cyst in a Child - An insight

Abstract

Gastric duplication cyst is uncommon congenital anomaly in paediatric population with an incidence rate of 17 per million populations. Its diagnosis and treatment is challenging in infants and children for both the clinicians and the pathologists. Most of the cases, diagnosis is rendered on laparotomy followed by histopathology as could not be possible on clinical and imaging studies alone due to its varied presentation. The aim of this editorial is to highlight the morphology and rarity of gastric duplication cyst in children as less than 50 reported cases were available in literature.
