Gastric duplication cysts are very rare disease that are mainly diagnosed by endoscopic ultrasonographic fine-needle aspiration biopsy. In the past, this disease was usually treated with traditional surgery and rarely with minimally invasive endoscopic surgery. However, minimally invasive endoscopic therapy has many advantages, such as no skin wound, organ preservation, postoperative pain reduction, early food intake, fewer postoperative complications, and shorter post-procedure hospitalization.
We report a case of endoscopic ultrasonography-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) combined with lauromacrogol sclerotherapy for pyloric obstruction due to gastric duplication cysts.
EUS-FNA combined with lauromacrogol sclerotherapy provides a new option for the treatment of gastrointestinal duplication cysts.
Core Tip: Endoscopic ultrasonography-guided ablation, as a minimally invasive treatment, has received increasing attention in the past few years. This case report introduces the treatment experience of a 29-year-old male patient. For this patient, we successfully treated a gastric duplication cyst with endoscopic ultrasonography-guided fine-needle aspiration combined with lauromacrogol sclerotherapy for the first time. The patient’s symptoms were relieved with minimal trauma, and there were no complications during the 3-year follow-up.
