title: Ileal duplication cyst in the elderly complicated by appendicitis: A rare case report and review of literature.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Gastrointestinal duplication cysts are rare, generally found in infants and young adults. Adult presentation is rare.
  
  
  METHODS
  We present an elderly lady who presented with right iliac fossa pain. Imaging showed a terminal ileal duplication cyst. Laparoscopic right hemicolectomy was done. Histopathology confirmed ileal duplication cyst with reactive appendicitis.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Surgical resection is deemed appropriate management due to known complications like obstruction, hemorrhage, perforation and malignant degeneration. Resection of only the cyst is adequate in completely isolated cases. However, others require resection of adjoining small bowel.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  We highlight the rare occurrence in elderly and its management laparoscopically.
