Abstract:

In the cluster of the congenital malformation of gastrointestinal system there is visceral duplication.
This is a rare development abnormality that occurs mainly in infant and children and is detected for
symptoms related to obstruction or to gastrointestinal bleeding. Only 30% of cases are diagnosed
in adult. In Literature, is reported from 1 out of 25,000 to 1 out 100,000 deliveries of duplication of
gastrointestinal system, but duodenum duplications are less than 5% of all. Duodenal duplication
cysts are usually located in the second or the third part of duodenum, and can communicate with
duodenal lumen or be extended into posterior mediastinum, communicate with gall bladder or
communicate with the pancreaticobiliary duct.
We reported the case of a 70 years-old-man (the oldest one in literature) with a duodenal duplication
cyst, his treatment and his outcome.
