Abstract:
Enteric duplication cysts are rare and often prove extremely difficult to diagnose. We report a case in which the definitive diagnosis was made 40 years after first presentation and following five exploratory laparotomies. A review of the literature is presented, with discussion regarding the presenting features, potential complications, radiological investigations and surgical treatment of this uncommon clinical entity.
