Abstract
Enteric duplication cysts are rare congenital malformations and cecal duplication cysts are rarer which develop only in 0.4% of cases of gastrointestinal tract duplication and only 43 cases have been reported in literature to date. The ileum and ileocecal junction are among the most common sites. We hereby report a case of a 50-year-old female who presented with signs and symptoms of acute intestinal obstruction that was clinically and radiologically interpreted as volvulus for which the patient underwent resection of the cyst and ileocecal anastomosis and was then histopathologically confirmed as cecal duplication cyst.
