Adenocarcinoma arising in a small bowel duplication cyst
Ladd WE first characterized the term ‘alimentary duplication cyst’ and described them as congenital malformations which involve the mesenteric side of the associated alimentary tract which share a common blood supply with the native bowel [1]
We present a case report of an adenocarcinoma arising in a coincidentally found cystic duplication of the small bowel
Summary
It is difficult to diagnose a malignancy arising in a duplication cyst radiologically a duplication cyst should be surgically removed completely as it carries an unpredictable risk of malignant transformation even if it is asymptomatic or apparently benign.
