Streszczenie
Enterogenous cysts are rare congenital lesions, diagnosed mainly prenatally and during infancy. These anomalies may occur anywhere along the gastrointestinal tract – from the mouth to the anus. They are difficult to diagnose because there are no characteristic symptoms. Coexistence of enterogenous cysts with other developmental defects is common. They are primarily diagnosed using ultrasound or magnetic resonance scans. Most cases of enterogenous cysts are treated surgically. We report the case of an enterogenous cyst in the Douglas’ pouch of a 3-month-old girl who was referred to the Department of Child Endocrinology with suspected ovarian cysts.
