Duodenal duplication cysts are rare congenital anomalies. Most symptomatic cases are diagnosed in childhood. In adults, they usually present with symptoms of recurrent pancreatitis, duodenal obstruction or gastrointestinal bleeding. Diagnosis is confirmed by histopathology. Diagnosis can also be achieved by endoscopic and/or radiologic imaging techniques. Symptomatic cases are treated by surgical resection or by using a variety of endoscopic techniques. Asymptomatic patients should be followed because of malignant degeneration risk. Here, we report an asymptomatic patient with duodenal duplication cyst diagnosed by endoscopic and radiologic imaging techniques.
