| Abstract: | A five-year-old boy with a rectal mass mimicking a rectal polyp, which proved to be a cystic duplication of the rectum, is presented. In a child with painless rectal bleeding, a mass palpated during rectal examination is usually diagnosed initially as being a rectal polyp. However, the case presented revealed the possibility of rectal duplication. |
