Giant chylous cyst and ileal duplication in a young adult
Yu Y, Wu JS, Ke ZW
Correspondence: Prof Zhong-Wei Ke, dr-array@hotmail.com
ABSTRACT
Alimentary tract duplications are rare congenital anomalies that usually present in childhood and occasionally in adults. They are most common in the ileum, but can occur anywhere along the alimentary tract from the mouth to the anus. We report a 24-year-old woman who presented with a giant chylous ileum cyst duplication. To our knowledge, there is only one other report of a patient with a giant chylous cyst in the literature.
Keywords: adult, alimentary tract duplications, female, ileum
