Abstract

Esophageal duplication cysts are quite uncommon benign lesions of the esophagus that have previously been described as occurring only in the thoracic cavity. We experienced a rare case of completely intra-abdominal esophageal duplication cyst in a 10-year-old boy who has suffered from epigastric abdominal pain. Surgical excision is recommended at the time of cyst discovery whether symptoms present or not.
