A case is reported of cystic duplication of the hindgut observed in a 57 year old female in whom vague abdominal discomfort in the right side of the abdomen was the only symptom. The lesion roentgenologically appeared as a retroperitoneal tumor. The colonic duplication was removed surgically and the diagnosis confirmed histologically.
The theories on the pathogenesis of enteric duplications, and the literature on this entity are reviewed.
