Isolated enteric duplication cysts.
Two rare cases of completely isolated duplication cysts are reported. A large but asymptomatic tubular cyst hanging from a narrow pedicle arising from the base of the terminal ileal mesentery was removed in a 6-day-old boy along with correction of associated malrotation. Multiple isolated duplication cysts located in the thorax and abdomen were excised in a 10-week-old infant. Both children remained asymptomatic after surgery.
