Duplication cyst: Without images, difficult to tell, but some things in the differential are: duplication cyst, ovarian cyst, mesenteric cyst. Please see your doctor and keep the GI consult. If the report describes a "cystic mass", that can imply a soft tissue component - meaning it is not a simple cyst. The radiologist who read the ct may need to be contacted by one of your physicians to clarify.
