Symptomatic presentation often leads to the discovery of a palpable mass.
Preoperative diagnosis using imaging techniques is infrequently successful.

Findings:

Gastro-intestinal duplications are rare congenital anomalies.
Small bowel location is most common.
Complications include bleeding, perforation, ileus, and pancreatitis.
