  • Title: Tubulocystic enteric duplication: a unique entity.
    Author: Dudhani S, Rashi R, Sinha AK, Kumar A.
    Journal: BMJ Case Rep; 2024 Aug 03; 17(8):. PubMed ID: 39097321.
    Abstract:
    Enteric duplication has cystic and tubular varieties. A male infant presented with a large cystic, well-demarcated mass in the right flank. On exploratory laparotomy, multiple cystic and tubular lesions were present adjacent to the mesenteric border of the small bowel along with malrotation of the small bowel. The tubule-cystic structure was excised along with the involved normal bowel segment and Ladd's procedure was performed. Histopathological evaluation revealed an intestinal duplication cyst. The occurrence of midgut malrotation and volvulus along with duplication is uncommon. The cyst's substantial size could have been an aetiological factor for malrotation and volvulus. The child's small bowel had adapted remarkably with time. This case highlights a new variant of duplication cysts.
