Completely isolated enteric duplication cyst: case report

Abstract

We present a case of a completely isolated enteric duplication cyst in a 28-year-old man. Computed tomography showed a large complex cystic mass with curvilinear and nodular calcifications near the anterior aspect of the left kidney. It had no connection to the pancreas, stomach, small bowel, or large bowel. We found no report describing computed tomographic findings of completely isolated enteric duplication cyst in the English-language literature.

Completely isolated alimentary tract duplication in a neonate

“…The term alimentary tract duplication is used for congenital lesions having three characteristics: [1] the presence of a well-developed coat of smooth muscle; [2] an epithelial lining representing some portion of the intestinal tract mucosa; and [3] intimate anatomic association with some portion of the gastrointestinal tract [1]. Recently, as we reported in the present case, congenital cystic lesions having gastrointestinal epithelial and wall characteristics without an anatomic association with the alimentary tract have been reported and described as ''isolated duplication'' or ''completely isolated duplication'' of the alimentary tract; eight such cases have been previously reported in the literature [2][3][4][5][6][7]. All but one case was detected and treated during the neonatal period.…”
