ADENOCARCINOMA WITHIN A RECTAL DUPLICATION CYST : CASE REPORT AND LITERATURE REVIEW
1999
Abstract
Intestinal duplications are uncommon but recognised developmental anomalies. Duplications of the rectum are the most uncommon of these anomalies. They may present with perianal fistulae, bleeding, a pelvic mass or symptoms produced by a mass, or, rarely, malignant change. We present a case of an adenocarcinoma within a rectal duplication cyst which was initially thought to be inoperable but was treated by radical surgery.
