Core Tip

Core Tip: Gastric bronchogenic cysts (BCs) represent uncommon congenital anomalies, often manifesting as indistinct cystic formations on preoperative evaluations. Herein, we document a noteworthy instance of a sizable gastric BC occurring in a young female patient. The definitive diagnosis of gastric BC was established through histopathological examination following laparotomy resection. The analysis of the reported cases revealed that gastric BC often mimics gastrointestinal stromal tumors on preoperative imaging. We recommend elective radical surgical resection for young patients with large cysts, as they might progress to malignancies.
