RESUMO
A rare case of congenital duodenal atresia (DA) associated with a choledochal cyst (CC) is reported. At 38 weeks of gestation, a 1,610-g girl was born by cesarean section with a prenatal diagnosis of congenital DA. After the disease was confirmed by radiographs, she underwent a duodenoduodenostomy for complete separation of the duodenum with an annular pancreas. Thirty-two months after the initial operation, she developed upper abdominal pain and acholic stools. Abdominal ultrasonography demonstrated a CC and dilated intrahepatic bile ducts. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography showed an anomalous arrangement of the choledochus and the main pancreatic duct. A diffusely dilated extrahepatic bile duct was resected, and a hepaticoduodenostomy was performed after a cholecystectomy. The patient was discharged without complications. We could not find a similar case report in the English literature. Although it is not reported that there is a close relation of DA and CC in embryologic development, the presence of this combination should be considered.

Primary leiomyosarcoma of the respiratory tract is a very rare malignancy, especially in childhood, with only 15 cases in patients under 16 years old having been reported. In the present case, the survival period from the onset of symptoms has been over 7 years, despite incomplete resection. Based on the 15 published cases, the prognosis is poorer when the tumor is unresected or incompletely resected, but under favorable circumstances, prolonged survival is possible.

Although it is not reported that there is a close relationship in embryologic development of DA and CC, one should be aware of the possibility of this combination.
