Enteric duplications are rare congenital malformation that can occur anywhere along the length of the alimentary tract, colonic duplication being the rarest. They usually present in paediatric patients and rarely in adults. We report a case of an infected colonic duplication cyst in an adult woman who presented as a case of intestinal obstruction. The infected colonic duplication was of cystic type communicating with transverse colon at splenic flexure and contained foul smelling pus. The cyst along with part of colon was resected and primary anastomosis performed. Post operative recovery was uneventful.
