Abstract

We report a rare case of duplication of the stomach concomitant with idiopathic portal hypertension. The woman underwent a gastrectomy, under a tentative diagnosis of gastric carcinoma. The resected specimen revealed a submucosal type duplication of the stomach located on the greater curvature. The lesion had three communications with the true stomach and had the gross appearance of a “triple antrum”.
