Enteric duplication cysts are rare congenital anomalies defined by the location along the gastrointestinal tract from which they communicate as well as the epithelial lining they contain. Enteric duplication cysts in communication with the pancreas are an even rarer subset that are often difficult to diagnose due to nonspecific presenting symptoms. In a pediatric patient with a history of recurrent pancreatitis episodes, a pancreatic duplication should be on the differential. High clinical suspicion and specific imaging characteristics can aid in the diagnosis. The management of pancreatic duplication cysts requires surgical excision or drainage procedures to alleviate symptoms and prevent associated complications such as recurrent pancreatitis, bleeding, bowel obstruction, or malignancy. Here we present a case of a gastric duplication cyst in communication with an accessory pancreatic lobe with special focus on the preoperative workup, intraoperative findings, and histopathologic examination.
