Foregut duplication cysts:A report of two cases with emphasis on embryogenesis

Duplication cyst of the stomach with a pseudostratifie columnar ciliated epithelium is extremely rare.We de scribe two cases of these cysts,with emphasis on the immunophenotype and embryogenesis.The first patien was a 29-year-old man who presented with crampin abdominal pain in his left lower quadra...

Summary:Duplication cyst of the stomach with a pseudostratifie columnar ciliated epithelium is extremely rare.We de scribe two cases of these cysts,with emphasis on the immunophenotype and embryogenesis.The first patien was a 29-year-old man who presented with crampin abdominal pain in his left lower quadrant.The secon patient was a 26-year-old woman who had a history over several years,of chronic epigastric abdominal pai radiating to her back.Both lesions were surgically re moved.They showed the same histomorphology.Th cysts were lined by a pseudostratified respiratory ep thelium with ciliated cells.The first cyst was connecte to the stomach,while the second cyst was not connect ed.Both cysts expressed thyroid transcription factor(TTF-1) and surfactant.In this report,we explore th possible embryogenesis of these lesions in the light o TTF-1 and surfactant expression.
