Title:Peritoneal metastatic adenocarcinoma possibly from Gastric duplication
cyst: A case report and literature review
Version:3Date:29 October 2013
Reviewer: Jeremy French
Reviewer's report:
Major
The authors comments that gastric duplication cysts should be managed as a
malignant lesion. But they did not manage it as such with a sub-optimal resection
(R2). This is not to be advised. if they had done this the patient could have been
cured.
Their summation that there was malignancy in the section of the cyst that wasn't
removed is speculative. Their arguments that there was are circumstantial.
The major message from this case is that it has been mismanaged and could
well be a cases for litigation.
Level of interest: An article whose findings are important to those with closely
related research interests
Quality of written English: Acceptable
Statistical review: No, the manuscript does not need to be seen by a statistician.
