Core Tip
Core Tip: This study is the first to explore the efficacy of endoscopic submucosal dissection for subtotal resection of intraluminal gastric duplication cyst (GDC). Following near-total resection of an antral submucosal tumor using endoscopic submucosal dissection in a 12-year-old girl, symptoms completely resolved, and histopathology confirmed a GDC. We emphasize the importance of complete resection for definitive diagnosis, while 6-month follow-up confirmed that residual cyst wall preservation had no adverse impact on short-term prognosis. This finding points to a new, safe, and effective minimally invasive therapeutic strategy for GDCs.
