A case of adenocarcinoma arising in a cystic duplication of the ileum of a 34 year old woman is described. Only one case of adenocarcinoma in ileal duplication has been recorded previously. The adenocarcinoma arose from gastric mucosa of a tubular duplication. In this case the adenocarcinoma arose from primitive type intestinal mucose in a cystic duplication.
