Duplication cyst of the pylorus: a case report.

INTRODUCTION

Pyloric duplication is an extremely rare gastrointestinal tract malformation in neonates. This is the first case report of pyloric duplication in our country (Lithuania).

CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of a 2-day-old Lithuanian girl who suffered from pyloric duplication mimicking an alternative common bile duct cyst or other intra-abdominal organs cysts. A laparotomy was performed and the cystic formation of the pyloric area was successfully resected. The postoperative course was uneventful.

CONCLUSIONS

There are only a few reports describing abdominal masses caused by pyloric duplication mimicking common bile duct cyst or other intra-abdominal organs cysts. Therefore thorough clinical and instrumental examination is needed to determine the most accurate diagnosis that allows one to choose the right treatment.
