Non-communicating gastric duplication cyst in a 10-week-old Labrador Retriever puppy

摘要

Case reportA 10-week-old male Labrador Retriever puppy was presented for acute onset of vomiting over a 48-h period. Ultrasound examination showed a cystic structure in the area of the pylorus that was impinging on gastric outflow. Surgery was performed to resect this structure. Histological examination showed the cystic structure to be composed of gastric mucosa surrounded by a smooth muscle wall. This finding, together with the intraoperative observations, led to a definitive diagnosis of a non-communicating gastric duplication cyst.
