Enteric duplication cysts are rare and uncommon congenital anomalies that arise during the embryonic period of the human digestive system's development. They are most commonly seen in infancy or early childhood, but they are seldom seen in adulthood. Due to the rarity of this anomaly, the vast bulk of literature on enteric duplication cysts is in the form of case reports, mostly among pediatric population. We present a rare case of infected isolated non communicating enteric duplication cyst in a 25 year male patient who presented with clinical diagnosis of acute appendicitis. Resection of the duplication cyst was performed safely without requiring bowel resection.
