RESUMEN
Complete tubular colonic duplication (CTCD) is exceedingly rare. The association of CTCD with an anorectal malformation is unusual. This malformation may be found unexpectedly at laparotomy. We present 3 cases of surgically proven neonate CTCD discovered at laparotomy for anal atresia. We reviewed the mode of clinical presentation, the imaging, and laparotomy findings. Our series illustrates that this rare disease presents perinatally in association with anal atresia, with or without other associated anomalies.

Lipoblastoma is a rare, benign, fatty tissue tumor that occurs in childhood. The location of this tumor in the mediastinum and extension to the chest wall is uncommon. We describe a 12-month-old male infant with a mediastinal lipoblastoma discovered because of a chest wall swelling. Computed tomography showed the deep component and fatty content of the lesion suggestive of the diagnosis. Total excision of the mass was carried out. The histologic examination of the lesion confirmed the diagnosis of lipoblastoma. Mediastinal lipoblastoma should be considered among the possible diagnoses of a fatty mediastinal tumor in childhood.
