Abstract

Duplications of the gastrointestinal tract are a rare congenital malformations that usually presents in the first 2 years of life with symptoms of poor weight gain and abdominal palpable mass. The present is a case report of 41 year-old woman who was evaluated for upper abdominal pain. Upper endoscopy revealed a submucosal mass in the greater curvature of the stomach with initial suspect diagnosis of gastrointestinal stromal tumor. Endoscopic ultrasound confirmed partially cystic submucosal mass which was removed with a distal gastric wedge resection without complications. Histopathological report was congenital gastric duplication.
