RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Enterogenous cysts are a very rare congenital abnormality that can be found anywhere within the gastrointestinal tract, most commonly in the small intestine. The incidence is approximately one in 4500-10,000 live births. Diagnosis can be suggested by ultrasound (US), computed tomography (CT) scans or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings, although histological examination confirms the definitive diagnosis. PATIENTS: We present a case of enterogenous cyst in an adult female who underwent a resection of the tumour. RESULTS: After two years of observation, there is no evidence of tumour recurrence.
