title: [Rare spherical duplication of the rectum--simulation of a tumor].
abstract: Case report on a spheric duplication of the rectum in the infralevator segment. The rare incidence is underlined by an inquiry in 23 clinics in our country: 5 clinics reported about 7 cases. In a review further 17 cases are presented. In our case report we point out the differentiation between presacral rectal duplication and presacral teratoma.
