    Summary

    Digestive tract duplications, typically congenital and in the small bowel, are rare in adults. This case highlights a sigmoid colon duplication in a 69-year-old man, successfully treated with colectomy.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Oncology

    Background:

    • Digestive tract duplications are congenital anomalies, predominantly affecting the small bowel in neonates.
    • While rare, adult presentations of gastrointestinal duplications can occur, often presenting with non-specific symptoms.

    Observation:

    • A 69-year-old male presented with abdominal distension and constipation.
    • Imaging and clinical evaluation revealed a duplication of the sigmoid colon.

    Findings:

    • Surgical exploration confirmed a sigmoid duplication.
    • A colectomy was performed to address the anomaly.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores that gastrointestinal duplications can manifest in adulthood, necessitating consideration in differential diagnoses for abdominal complaints.
    • The potential for malignant transformation (carcinoma) within these duplications, though infrequent, warrants long-term surveillance or complete surgical excision.
