Duplications of the gastrointestinal tract are congenital anomalies seen in about 0.2% of all children. These include the rare gastric duplications. Latter diagnosis is usually made in the first months after birth on recurrent vomiting by detection of an abdominal tumor. The most important imaging modality is ultrasonography. The case of a prematurely born child weighing 1900 g is presented in whom at the age of three weeks a gastric duplication of the greater curvature was diagnosed and who was successfully treated by resection. The postoperative follow-up for 24 months was uncomplicated.

Gastric duplication cysts (GDCs) are rare cystic neoplasms that are often difficult to distinguish from other entities. Accurate diagnosis of cysts before resection is difficult even using the most advanced imaging techniques. We present a case of a gastric duplication cyst in a 17-year-old female, presenting with discomfort in the upper abdomen.

Although gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) can present with various histological characteristics, GIST mimicking perineurioma has not been previously reported. We present the case of a 47-year-old woman diagnosed with GIST after laparoscopic resection of a stomach tumor near the lesser curvature of the gastric body close to the cardia. Morphological features resembled a perineurioma.

Gastric duplication cysts (GDCs) are rare congenital anomalies, often identified during infancy or childhood. Although typically benign, there have been sporadic reports of malignant transformations, including adenocarcinoma and rare mixed tumors. Herein, we describe a rare case of mixed pancreatobiliary ductal adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma occurring within a GDC in a 54-year-old Korean woman with a history of melena and hematemesis.
