A case of an infiltrative adenocarcinoma developing in a villous adenoma in a reduplication of the cecum is presented. Review of the causes of reduplication of the colon as well as the presence of villous adenomas of the right colon are discussed by the authors. The clinical difficulty of the recognition of this entity is emphasized. The authors believe this to be the only case ever reported.
