Gastric duplication cysts are uncommon anomalies and rarely diagnosed in adult patients [1]. Clinical presentation is non-specific, which may include nausea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort or signs of gastric outlet obstruction. In this report, a 32-year-old lady with morbid obesity had presented with non-specific upper abdominal discomfort. She underwent a routine pre-operative investigation which included an ultrasound of the abdomen. A benign-looking, 4.5 × 5.5 cm thin-walled cyst in the left lobe of the liver and gallstones were reported. A computed tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen confirmed the ultrasound findings and gastroscopy did not reveal any abnormalities. Differential diagnosis included a splenic cyst (Fig. 1).
