The diagnosis of this condition is established following histopathological analysis, which often requires surgical intervention. Case report We report a case of a retroperitoneal enteric duplication cysts, p resenting as a cystic lesion of the pancreas in a 19-year-old woman. Conclusions We recommend surgical intervention for retroperitoneal EDCs due to its potential local complications including pressure effects on surrounding structures and neoplastic change.
