To the Editor,
Gastrointestinal duplication cysts (GID) can occur in almost every age
group, in various locations and with various symptoms, and they must be
operated because they have malignant potential. Many interesting cases
have been reported. However, jejunal duplication cysts are very rare. As
far as we know, this is the first case of jejunal GID (jejunal) cyst
followed in pediatric palliative care, examined for respiratory
distress, localized in the thorax and not causing obstruction. This case
reinforces the importance of knowing the symptoms of jejunal GID cases.
