  • Title: Adenocarcinoma within a rectal duplication cyst: case report and literature review.
    Author: Michael D, Cohen CR, Northover JM.
    Journal: Ann R Coll Surg Engl; 1999 May; 81(3):205-6. PubMed ID: 10364957.
    Abstract:
    Intestinal duplications are uncommon but recognised developmental anomalies. Duplications of the rectum are the most uncommon of these anomalies. They may present with perianal fistulae, bleeding, a pelvic mass or symptoms produced by a mass, or, rarely, malignant change. We present a case of an adenocarcinoma within a rectal duplication cyst which was initially thought to be inoperable but was treated by radical surgery.
