Introduction:
Duodenal duplication is a rare congenital malformation. Although more frequent in childhood, it is rarely observed in adulthood. Preoperative diagnosis can be difficult.
Presentation Of Case:
We report a case of 42 year-old woman with duodenal duplication cyst situated in the posterior mediastinum, who was misdiagnosed even after a primary surgery. Detailed diagnostic workup and a second operation was done.
Discussion:
This article discusses the incidence of duodenal duplications, their types and clinical presentations, the radiologic and diagnostic features with different therapeutic options.
Conclusion:
Duodenal and the other intestinal duplication cysts should be considered in the differential diagnosis of oral contrast enhanced intrathoracic lesions in thorocoabdominal computerised tomography imaging.
