- Abstract
Gastroenteric duplication rarely occurs in locations such as the pancreas. We report a case of gastroenteric duplication of the pancreatic tail, which was noncontiguous with the stomach and had no communication with the pancreatic duct, in a 3-year-old girl. The cyst was enucleated by laparoscopy, without the need for pancreatic resection. The optimal treatment procedures vary considerably, depending on where the gastroenteric duplication is located in the pancreas and, most importantly, whether there is communication with the pancreatic duct.
