Sumario:Intestinal duplications are rare congenital anomaly found in the pediatric age group. Although, the ileum is the most common site, there are cases of colonic duplications even in the adult. Colonoscopy is a good investigation tool for the diagnosis of colonic duplications; however, it may not be true in all cases. We report a case of 43 years woman presented with chronic constipation, intermittent colicky abdomen pain, and a cystic lump in the left abdomen diagnosed as tubular duplication cyst of descending colon. She was managed with left hemicolectomy and excision of the cyst with uneventful postoperative days. This case has been reported as it is a rare condition.
