title: Mediastinal enteric duplication cyst containing aberrant pancreas.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The purpose of the study is to report a unique association of clinical and pathological findings in a neonate. Foregut enteric duplication cysts--rare developmental anomalies that are associated with midline vertebral fusion anomalies.
  
  
  METHODS
  We had a neonate with foregut duplication cyst who presented at birth with respiratory distress. The child also had associated communicating hydrocephalus. The patient underwent excision of the duplication cyst along with a ventriculo-peritoneal shunt.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The excised specimen revealed a duplication cyst lined by aberrant pancreatic tissue.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The present case demonstrates histologically the presence of both pancreatic and gastric tissue.
