We present a case of jejunal duplication with a localized perforation of the adjacent normal intestine into the substance of the liver in a 3-month-old baby. This was successfully treated by resection of the duplication and a short segment of the normal jejunum. The diagnosis was made preoperatively by pertechnetate technetium 99m isotope scanning and a barium meal examination, and we discuss the use of these investigations in children presenting with melena.

D003560	Cysts	Any fluid-filled closed cavity or sac that is lined by an EPITHELIUM. Cysts can be of normal, abnormal, non-neoplastic, or neoplastic tissues.	Cyst
D005753	Gastric Mucosa	Lining of the STOMACH, consisting of an inner EPITHELIUM, a middle LAMINA PROPRIA, and an outer MUSCULARIS MUCOSAE. The surface cells produce MUCUS that protects the stomach from attack by digestive acid and enzymes. When the epithelium invaginates into the LAMINA PROPRIA at various region of the stomach (CARDIA; GASTRIC FUNDUS; and PYLORUS), different tubular gastric glands are formed. These glands consist of cells that secrete mucus, enzymes, HYDROCHLORIC ACID, or hormones.
