Duplications of digestive tract are usually observed in new-born. In most of the case they are located on the small bowel. We observed, in a 69-year old man which complained of abdominal distension and constipation a sigmoid duplication. A colectomy was performed. Carcinoma arising in such duplication have been reported.
