title: Squamous cell carcinoma in a duplicate large intestine. A case report.
abstract: A case report of a squamous cell carcinoma arising in a closed duplication of the large intestine is presented. The aetiology of squamous cell carcinoma in this site is discussed. It is quite possible the epithelial changes described in this case are similar to those associated with squamous cell carcinoma in other anatomical sites. The unusual environment within the lumen of a closed duplication may be carcinogenic.
