Unclear source of gastrointestinal bleeding: Utilizing small bowel capsule to detect an enteric duplication cyst, a case report

Enteric duplication cysts (EDCs) are rare congenital malformations that form during embryonic development of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.Symptoms may include vomiting, abdominal distension, a palpable abdominal mass, or bleeding, but they can vary depending on the lesion's location.1 We present the case of a 9-year-old male with recurrent hematochezia and abnormal findings on small bowel capsule endoscopy (SBCE), ultimately diagnosed as an EDC on exploratory laparoscopy.
