  • Title: Cystic duplication of the cecum lined by dermal type squamous epithelium.
    Author: Ikeda H, Nakamura T, Matsuyama S, Nagashima K, Takahashi A, Shitara T.
    Journal: J Pediatr Surg; 1986 Nov; 21(11):960-1. PubMed ID: 3794951.
    Abstract:
    This is a case report of a cystic duplication of the cecum in a 6-month-old female infant, which was lined by both columnar and squamous epithelium. This squamous epithelium did not resemble esophageal epithelium but dermal epithelium. The so-called split notochord theory can explain the possibility of the coexistence of ectoderm and entoderm components. However, the present case had no vertebral abnormalities.
