AB  - Enteric  (or  alimentary  tract)  duplications  are  typically  benign  congenital  lesions  that  can  occur  anywhere  from  the  mouth  to  the  anus.  They  are  frequently  recognized  in  the  first  2  years  of  life.  Enteric  duplications  often  are  asymptomatic  and  discovered  incidentally,  or  can  present  with  symptoms  of  bleeding  or  obstruction.  They  typically  are  lined  by  intestinal  epithelium  and  may  communicate  with  the  normal  intestinal  lumen.  Mesenteric  and  omental  cysts  are  benign  congenital  abdominal  cysts  that  are  found  in  the  mesentery,  retroperitoneum,  or  omentum.  They  are  rarer  than  enteric  duplications  and  are  of  lymphatic,  not  gastrointestinal,  origin.  Surgical  evaluation  and  management  of  these  lesions  is  indicated  in  all  cases  to  treat  or  prevent  possible  complications.
