ABSTRACT

Gastrointestinal duplication cysts are rare congenital abnormalities that are usually seen in childhood. Colonic duplication cyst is very rare in adults and is usually asymptomatic. We report a 42‑year‑old female with a duplication cyst in the proximal ascending colon who presented with recurrent episodes of colicky abdominal pain. The cyst could be well visualized on colonoscopy and the patient underwent successful right hemicolectomy with ileotransverse anastomosis.

KEYWORDS:

Computed tomography - colonoscopy - duplication cyst
