Abstract
- Gastrointestinal duplication is a rare congenital disorder that can occur anywhere along the gastrointestinal tract. The most frequent site of duplication is the mesenteric border of the small intestine. Retroperitoneal duplication cysts are extremely rare. Most duplications are diagnosed in neonates or infants, but rarely preoperatively. By the complete excision of a retroperitoneal duplication cyst, a 26 year old male patient, who had suffered from intermittent severe abdominal pain all his life, was successfully treated. Herein, a case of retroperitoneal duplication cyst is reported, with a review of literature.
