Isolated enteric duplication cysts

J Pediatr Surg. 2004 Aug;39(8):e5-7. doi: 10.1016/j.jpedsurg.2004.04.040.

Abstract

Two rare cases of completely isolated duplication cysts are reported. A large but asymptomatic tubular cyst hanging from a narrow pedicle arising from the base of the terminal ileal mesentery was removed in a 6-day-old boy along with correction of associated malrotation. Multiple isolated duplication cysts located in the thorax and abdomen were excised in a 10-week-old infant. Both children remained asymptomatic after surgery.
