Cecal duplication is a rare congenital malformation and majority of the cases are discovered in the first years of life. Ileocolic intussusception is also a rare situation encountered in adults. A 19-year-old female presented with acute abdominal pain and bowel occlusion in relation with an ileocecal intussusception. She underwent an emergent laparotomy and ileocecal resection. A cecal duplication cyst was found to be the cause of the intussusception. While duplications and intussusception are very rare situations encountered in the adult life, the presence of both at the same time remains frankly anecdotal. The present case demonstrates that intussusception may likely be involved with any cecal lesion, like duplication.

Stump appendiceal abscess after appendicectomy: A case report.
Int J Surg Case Rep
December 2024
Hôpital la Rabta, Tunis, Tunisia.
Article Synopsis
- * A case study of a 58-year-old man revealed an appendiceal stump abscess developed eight months post-surgery, confirmed by a CT scan, which led to emergency laparoscopic surgery where complications like perforation were noted.
- * The discussion highlights the importance of imaging for diagnosis and suggests that stump appendicitis, while uncommon, requires careful monitoring and intervention post-appendectomy to prevent serious complications; surgical removal of the stump is the recommended treatment but its best approach remains uncertain.

Colonoscopy diagnosis of recurrent abdominal pain in a 4-year-old boy with intestinal duplication cyst involving colon, appendix, and ileum: a case report.
J Med Case Rep
September 2024
Department of General Surgery, School of Medicine, Shanghai Children's Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, No. 355, Luding Road, Shanghai, 200062, China.
Article Synopsis
- Intestinal duplication cysts are rare congenital malformations that can affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract, often leading to symptoms that mimic other abdominal issues in children, making diagnosis difficult.
- A 4-year-old boy experienced recurrent abdominal pain and vomiting, and despite initial negative tests, a later barium examination revealed a significant mass related to an intestinal duplication cyst involving the colon, appendix, and ileum.
- After surgical resection of the cyst, the patient showed improvement without recurrence of symptoms for 5 years, highlighting the importance of using colonoscopy as a diagnostic tool for challenging cases.
Low-Grade Appendiceal Mucinous Neoplasm Adhered to the Posterior Cecum: A Case Report.
Cureus
August 2024
General Surgery, St. Francis Hospital, Monroe, USA.
Article Synopsis
- * Diagnosis mainly relies on CECT, but misdiagnoses can occur, indicating that other diagnostic methods should be considered more frequently.
- * Treatment typically involves appendectomy, but there's debate over whether additional surgical procedures like cecectomy or right hemicolectomy are necessary, illustrated by a case of a 72-year-old woman who presented with unusual symptoms and an unexpected intraoperative finding.
Single-cell analysis of the amphioxus hepatic caecum and vertebrate liver reveals genetic mechanisms of vertebrate liver evolution.
Nat Ecol Evol
October 2024
Shaanxi Key Laboratory of Qinling Ecological Intelligent Monitoring and Protection, School of Ecology and Environment, Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi'an, China.
The evolution of the vertebrate liver is a prime example of the evolution of complex organs, yet the driving genetic factors behind it remain unknown. Here we study the evolutionary genetics of liver by comparing the amphioxus hepatic caecum and the vertebrate liver, as well as examining the functional transition within vertebrates. Using in vivo and in vitro experiments, single-cell/nucleus RNA-seq data and gene knockout experiments, we confirm that the amphioxus hepatic caecum and vertebrate liver are homologous organs and show that the emergence of ohnologues from two rounds of whole-genome duplications greatly contributed to the functional complexity of the vertebrate liver.
