Abstract
BARRAGAN-AREVALO, Viviana; ECHEVERRI-RESTREPO, Viviana; JIMENEZ, Ivette and PENA, Rafael. Duodenal duplication cyst in a pediatric patient. Case report. rev. colomb. cir. [online]. 2023, vol.38, n.4, pp.741-746. Epub June 23, 2023. ISSN 2011-7582. https://doi.org/10.30944/20117582.2256.
Introduction.
Duodenal duplication cysts are rare malformations that occur during the embryological development of the gastrointestinal tract.
Clinical case.
The case of a three-year-old boy with abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting is presented. Ultrasound and computed tomography revealed a cyst between the liver, right kidney, and colon.
Results.
Laparoscopy was performed, finding a duodenal duplication cyst with mucus in the first portion of the duodenum. A resection of the cyst and mucosectomy of the remaining segment were performed.
Conclusion.
The symptoms of a duodenal duplication cyst are nonspecific and its finding is frequently incidental. Surgical treatment depends on the size, location, and relationship to the bile duct.
Keywords : duodenum; duodenal diseases; gastrointestinal tract; congenital abnormalities; cyst; surgery.
