Abstract
Gastric duplications are rare anomalies and usually occur along the greater curvature
of the stomach. The authors herein describe an uncommon case of a retroperitoneal
gastric duplication, which was not found during previous emergency laparotomy for
suspected peritonitis at another institution. On subsequent computed tomography scan,
the lesion was misinterpreted as a simple exophytic renal cyst. Laparoscopy was undertaken
because of unresolved symptoms, and a retroperitoneal duplication cyst was successfully
excised. It was lined with gastric mucosa and islands of pancreatic tissue on pathologic
examination.
