Enteric duplication cysts, sometimes simply called duplication cysts, are rare cysts of the gastrointestinal tract.[1] They most frequently occur in the small intestine, particularly the ileum, but can occur anywhere along the gastrointestinal tract.[1]

The condition of having duplication cysts has been called intestinal duplication.[2]
