Asymptomatic duodenal duplication cyst

Abstract

Duodenal duplication cysts are rare congenital anomalies. Most symptomatic cases are diagnosed in childhood. In adults, they usually present with symptoms of recurrent pancreatitis, duodenal obstruction or gastrointestinal bleeding. Diagnosis is confirmed by histopathology. Diagnosis can also be achieved by endoscopic and/or radiologic imaging techniques. Symptomatic cases are treated by surgical resection or by using a variety of endoscopic techniques. Asymptomatic patients should be followed because of malignant degeneration risk. Here, we report an asymptomatic patient with duodenal duplication cyst diagnosed by endoscopic and radiologic imaging techniques.

Asemptomatik duodenal duplikasyon kisti

Öz

Duodenal duplikasyon kistleri nadir görülen konjenital anomalilerdir. Çoğu semptomatik olguya çocukluk çağında tanı konur. Erişkinlerde genellikle tekrarlayan pankreatit, duodenal obstrüksiyon veya gastrointestinal kanama kliniği ile ortaya çıkar. Tanı histopatoloji ile konur. Endoskopik ve/veya radyolojik görüntüleme yöntemlerinden ayırıcı tanıda faydalanılır. Semptomatik olgular cerrahi rezeksiyon veya çeşitli endoskopik metodlar ile tedavi edilir. Malign dejenerasyon riski nedeni ile asemptomatik hastalar takip edilmelidir. Burada endoskopik ve radyolojik görüntüleme yöntemleri ile tanı koyduğumuz duodenal duplikasyon kisti olan asemptomatik bir olguyu sunmaktayız.
