“…Several reports in the literature have described the varied sonographic characteristics of enteric cysts. 6,7,[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] These lesions usually are fluid-filled complex cysts, without the characteristics of a true simple cyst. Internal echoes and septations are the result of hemorrhage and inspissated mucoid material in the cysts.…”

The variable sonographic appearance of duplication cysts is presented. Eighteen sonograms from 14 patients, aged 1 day to 8 years, were reviewed over an 8 year period. Water and other aqueous contrast agents were used in six patients as part of the sonographic evaluation. All lesions were confirmed by surgery. All but two patients were symptomatic. Twenty-four cysts were detected, ranging in size from 1.7 to 15.5 cm. The duplication cysts revealed a spectrum of sonographic findings (cystic to solid appearing masses). The mass characteristics, including the "muscular rim sign," and internal debris or hemorrhage, were demonstrated. Multiple unsuspected cysts (3 of 14 or 20%) and complications such as perforation were readily seen with ultrasonography. Serial sonograms demonstrated the changing morphology of two cysts. Other unsuspected intra-abdominal and pelvic pathologic conditions, including pyloric stenosis and ovarian cysts, were identified. Identification of the muscular rim sign is the most reliable indication of a duplication cyst. Multiple masses as well as possible accompanying anomalies in the abdomen and pelvis are readily evaluated with sonography. Lesions are easily followed with serial studies if there is no surgical intervention.

Enteric duplication, a developmental malformation of the alimentary tract resulting in juxtaintestinal cyst-like formations, was diagnosed in 2 dogs. The sonographic, gross, and histopathologic characteristics of the malformation reported in people include: a fusion between the wall of the duplication cyst and the adjoining segment of the alimentary tract, a hypoechoic tunica muscularis layer in the outer free wall of the cyst, a shared muscular wall between the cyst and the adjoining normal bowel, and a similar or heterotopic epithelial lining of the lumen of the cyst. Both dogs in this series had characteristic sonographic, gross and histopathologic patterns described for enteric duplication in people. Three adjoining cysts that communicated and shared a common wall with the ileum were present in the first dog. Ectopic gastric mucosa was present in the single cyst that shared a common wall with the jejunum in the second dog. Other abdominal cystic masses may mimic the gross appearance of the duplication cyst and can potentially result in a misdiagnosis of the underlying etiology. Sonographic findings are characteristic for duplication cysts and are the preferred primary diagnostic modality, however, histopathology is warranted to confirm the diagnosis.

“…The sonographic appearance of cystic duplications is well described. [2][3][4][5] Tubular duplication can be of varying length, from a short segment, as seen in this case, to duplication of the entire length of the small and large bowel. There is communication between the tubular duplication and the native alimentary tract at the proximal end, at both ends, or at multiple sites.…”
