Introduction: Digestive duplications are defined as tubular or cystic malformations, located on a segment of the digestive tract, from the oral cavity to the anus and comprising a wall with a double muscular tunic lined with a digestive-type mucosa. Observation: 3-year-old child, sex M, with no known history, admitted for abdominal pain that had been present for 3 days, in whom clinical examination revealed an epigastric abdominal mass, tender, firm, fixed in relation to the deep plane on palpation. The abdominal ultrasound performed revealed a loculated cystic mass with finely echogenic content. He underwent surgery. Exploration revealed a digestive duplication of the slender, cystic type at the expense of the jejunum measuring approximately 8x5 cm, located in the mesenteric part of the jejunum and not communicating. We carried out a jejunal resection removing the cystic mass with creation of an end-to-end grelo-intestinal anastomosis. The postoperative course was simple. After 03 months, the evolution was favorable. Conclusion: Digestive duplications are rare malformations presenting a large anatomoclinical polymorphism. They can sit at different levels of the digestive tract with a predominance of small intestine locations.
