Abstract

Abstract:

Adult colonic duplication is a rare congenital malformation of the digestive tract whose etiology may be related to abnormal embryonic development. This disease can be divided into four types according to the morphology and structure. The clinical manifestations vary according to the type，location and whether it is connected with the intestinal cavity， including abdominal pain， abdominal mass，gastrointestinal bleeding， intestinal obstruction， infection or perforation， etc. Surgery is the main treatment method at present. A case of colon duplication in adult was reported in this paper in order to improve the understanding of this disease.

Key words: Colon, Enteric duplication, Congenital malformation, Surgical operation
