Hepatogastroenterology. 1996 May-Jun;43(9):769-70.

Abstract

Duplications of the digestive tract are very unusual entities that can be located in any other part of the Gastrointestinal tract. However the most frequent location is the jejunoileal one. We report the case of a giant chylous intestinal cyst duplication, located in the ileum, diagnosed in a 41 year-old man.
