  ABSTRACT: Gastric duplication represents about 2% - 9% of gastrointestinal tract duplication. Its diagnosis is easily missed given its multiple unconventional clinical presentations. We present a case report of a gastric duplication cyst in a 7-year-old boy to create awareness on the pathology and for clinicians to have a high index of suspicion when faced with this pathology. Due to our LMICs setting, diagnosis isn’t done through antenatal ultrasound as it is seen in the west but within the first decade of life with an abdominal CT scan. The resource limited setting equally had an impact in our surgical management. Yet this do not change our patient’s prognosis.
