Duodenal Duplicated Cyst Manifested by Acute Pancreatitis and Obstructive Jaundice in an Elderly Man

A duodenal duplication cyst is an uncommon congenital anomaly that is usually encountered during infancy or in early childhood. Duodenal duplication cysts gen-erally appear on the first or second portion of the duodenum and may cause duo-denal obstruction, hemorrhage or pancreatitis. Here, we report a case of a duode-nal duplication cyst on the second and third portion of the duodenum in an old aged man with obstructive jaundice and acute pancreatitis, which was treated suc-cessfully by a surgical excision.
