Intestinal duplication, a rare cause of adult abdominal pain, can be difficult to diagnose. A case highlights severe pain from an ileal duplication with a penetrating ulcer in ectopic gastric tissue.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Pathology
  • Abdominal Imaging

Background:

  • Intestinal duplications are rare congenital anomalies.
  • They can present with varied gastrointestinal symptoms in adults.
  • Diagnosis often requires advanced imaging or surgical exploration.

Observation:

  • A 20-year-old male presented with severe abdominal pain.
  • Imaging revealed an ileal duplication cyst.
  • The cyst contained ectopic gastric mucosa.

Findings:

  • The ileal duplication was complicated by a penetrating ulcer.
  • The ulcer was located within the ectopic gastric mucosa.
  • This led to severe clinical presentation.

Implications:
