Sarcomatoid Carcinoma Arising in a Gastric Duplication Cyst

Malignancy arising within a gastric duplication cyst (GDC) is extremely rare; only 15 cases have been reported in the literature. We present a 70-year-old woman who was referred with a history of vague postprandial abdominal discomfort. Subsequent imaging identified a gastric cystic mass. A laparosc...

Sumario:Malignancy arising within a gastric duplication cyst (GDC) is extremely rare; only 15 cases have been reported in the literature. We present a 70-year-old woman who was referred with a history of vague postprandial abdominal discomfort. Subsequent imaging identified a gastric cystic mass. A laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy of a 90 × 60 × 60-mm cystic mass was performed. Histopathological examination showed the presence of a sarcomatoid carcinoma arising within a GDC. The patient, unfortunately, died 5 months after surgery with metastatic disease. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of sarcomatoid carcinoma arising within a GDC.
