Abstract
A case of perforation of multiple gastric duplication cysts is presented. T he rarity of this case is based on its multiplicity, its small size, its pe rforation into peritoneal cavity, as well as on the detection of tiny foci of ectopic pancreatic tissue at the site of perforation. The sonographic ap pearance and the clinical manifestations are discussed.
