Cecal duplication cyst is a rare congenital malformation with a few reported adult cases. We present a 23-year-old man who presented with low-grade fever, constipation, and right lower quadrant pain for three days. An abdominal computed tomography scan showed a cystic mass of 8.8x7.5x6 cm adjoining to the posterior wall of the cecum. The patient underwent abdominal laparotomy, and a right hemicolectomy was performed with resection of the duplication cyst. The histopathological study confirmed the diagnosis of a non-communicating cecal duplication cyst. In conclusion, it is essential to include cecal duplication cyst in the differential diagnosis of the acute abdomen to guarantee the best treatment strategy.
盲肠重复囊肿是一种罕见的先天性畸形，仅有少数成人病例报道。我们报告了一例 23 岁男性，因低热、便秘和右下腹痛三天就诊。腹部 CT 扫描显示一个 8.8x7.5x6cm 的囊性肿块毗邻盲肠后壁。患者接受了腹部剖腹手术，并进行了右半结肠切除术和重复囊肿切除术。组织病理学研究证实了非交通性盲肠重复囊肿的诊断。总之，在急性腹痛的鉴别诊断中必须包括盲肠重复囊肿，以保证最佳的治疗策略。
