Abstract: Introduction: Thoraco-abdominal duplications, rare malformations of the oesophagus gastrointestinal tract, present diagnostic challenges often requiring surgical confirmation. Observation: A 22-month-old male with a thoraco-abdominal mass. After laparotomy, histological analysis confirmed an esophagogastroduodenal duplication extending from the esophagus to the duodenum. Discussion: The esophagogastroduodenal duplication extending from the esophagus to the duodenum is rare, with variable presentation and embryological origins. Clinical manifestations vary, imaging aids diagnosis, and surgery is the definitive treatment. Conclusion: This case underscores the importance of prompt identification and management of digestive duplications, emphasizing the necessity of resection and potential adjacent tissue involvement.
