title: Retroperitoneal enteric duplication cyst presenting as a pancreatic cystic lesion. A case report.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Retroperitoneal enteric duplication cysts (EDC) are rare lesions and its presentation during adulthood is a diagnostic challenge for clinicians. The diagnosis of this condition is established following histopathological analysis, which often requires surgical intervention.
  
  
  METHODS
  We report a case of a retroperitoneal enteric duplication cysts, presenting as a cystic lesion of the pancreas in a 19-year-old woman.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  We recommend surgical intervention for retroperitoneal EDCs due to its potential local complications including pressure effects on surrounding structures and neoplastic change.
