Abstract

Duplication cysts of the intestine are a rare clinical entity, usually diagnosed in infancy or childhood. Cecum is the least common site of gastrointestinal duplication cysts. We are presenting a case of non-communicating cecal duplication cyst in an adult female. The cyst was excised completely laparoscopically without compromising the blood supply to the adjacent cecum. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis. Non-communicating cecal duplication cysts can be excised without compromising the vascularity but communicating duplication cysts mandate a segmental resection of the part of the bowel involved.
