Abstract Introduction/Objective Whipple procedure is a complex, invasive operation and has high morbidity and mortality. It is the most commonly indicated treatment for treating malignant tumors, however, it can be also used for benign entities as well including biliary stricture, chronic pancreatitis, choledochal cyst, inflammatory pseudotumour, and duodenal angiodysplasia. Methods/Case Report We report a case of a 50-year-old man who presented with symptoms of gastric outlet obstruction. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy and CT scan showed an obstruction at the level of the second part of the duodenum with proximal dilation. Subsequently, a Whipple procedure was performed based on high clinical suspicion of duodenal cancer. Gross examination revealed a unilocular thick walled cyst (4.2 cm) in the duodenum. Histopathologic examination showed a cyst lined by duodenal mucosa with thick smooth muscle wall and focal ectopic gastric tissue. This was finally diagnosed as a duodenal cyst consistent with duplication cyst. Results (if a Case Study enter NA) NA Conclusion Duplication cysts are rare congenital abnormality predominantly diagnosed in infancy and childhood. They are most commonly located in the distal ileum, followed by the esophagus and ileocecal region, and are extremely rare in duodenum. Differential diagnosis includes choledochocele, pancreatic pseudocyst, and cystic tumors of the pancreas, mesenteric cysts, and duodenal diverticulums. Treatment options include total excision, cystojejunostomy, and endoscopic marsupialization but occasionally may lead to more invasive measures such as the Whipple procedure. Although duodenal duplication cysts can have variable clinical presentation and radiological findings, making preoperative diagnosis very challenging, it is still pertinent to be aware of this entity for the optimal patient care.

<b><i>Background:</i></b> Duodenal duplication cysts (DDCs) are rare congenital anomalies typically manifesting during childhood. Clinical manifestations are uncommon in adulthood. DDCs were classically treated surgically, but endoscopic treatment has been increasingly reported. Endoscopic cyst marsupialization establishes a communication between the cyst cavity and the duodenal lumen so that the cystic content can be drained continuously into the duodenum. We herein describe two cases of symptomatic DDCs diagnosed in adulthood and submitted to endoscopic marsupialization using different techniques and devices. <b><i>Case Summary:</i></b> Case 1: A 23-year-old female patient was admitted with the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis. Endoscopic ultrasound revealed a 35-mm duodenal subepithelial lesion whose proximal limit was immediately distal to the ampulla of Vater and filled with fluid and calcifications. Using a duodenoscope, deroofing of the lesion was made with a diathermic snare. Pathology confirmed the diagnosis of DDC. Case 2: A 41-year-old female, submitted to laparoscopic cholecystectomy 1 month earlier due to suspected lithiasic acute pancreatitis, was admitted due to suspicion of iatrogenic biliary fistula. An endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography was performed and the bile leak was treated. Immediately distal to the papillary orifice, a 20-mm subepithelial lesion was also detected. A biopsy forceps was used to fenestrate its wall, allowing the exit of mucous fluid and stones, and a sphincterotome was used to expand the incision. No recurrence was documented in both cases. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> These cases highlight DDC as a potential cause for acute pancreatitis in adults and endoscopy as an easy treatment option.
