Under the clinical preoperative diagnosis of mobile ovarian tumor, a laparotomy was done on a 24 month old female. The pyelogram had shown lateral displacement of the right ureter. The colon X-ray showed displacement of the cecum towards the liver. The ultrasound scan showed a unilocular cyst of 23 cm. diameter. At laparotomy a cystic duplication of the intestine in the iliocecal region of 23 cm. diameter was found and resected. The microscopic examination showed extensive benign metaplasia of the epithelium in association with a normal intestinal wall in all layers.
