Gastric duplication cysts (GDCs) are a relatively uncommon congenital developmental abnormality, mainly occurring in infants but very rarely in adults. Because of the variability in clinical presentation, it is often quite challenging to diagnose GDCs in adults. We are presenting a case report of an adult diagnosed operatively as having a GDC with a literature review to summarize clinical and imaging features and the treatment selections of GDCs in adults so that doctors could have a comprehensive understanding of this disease and make a precise diagnosis and a suitable therapeutic decision for patients.
