"The pathogenesis is unknown, although it is thought to be related to a congenital or acquired (e.g. inflammatory, infectious, traumatic, or ischaemic) mucosal muscle weakness, resulting in embedment of mucosal epithelium into the submucosa 6. Mucin is secreted into the cyst and occasionally infiltrates the submucosa."
"The rectum is the most common location (~70% 7) followed by the colon (~15% 7), although submucosal cysts can occur in the stomach (gastritis cystica profunda) and small intestine (enteritis cystica profunda) 3,4,6."

"Submucosal mucin cysts are readily apparent on TRUS or MRI and the bowel wall may otherwise appear normal."
"Mucin cysts in the submucosa generate low-level echoes on TRUS with distal acoustic enhancement 1."
