摘      要：BACKGROUND Alimentary tract duplication(ATD) is a rare congenital anomaly.Thus,a case of ATD with a complete colonic duplication isolated in the abdominal cavity with a fistula and multiple malformations is very distinctive.These characteristics show the variability of this disease and explain why it tends to be challenging to diagnose and treat.CASE SUMMARY A 25-year-old woman with a history of a fistula opening in her right hip since birth presented with the irregular discharge of foul fluid from the fistula and intermittent abdominal pain.Contrast-enhanced computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging findings revealed a duplicated tube isolated in her abdominal pelvic cavity along with a pelvic malformation and double ureter.Right foot radiographic examination showed pes cavus.During surgery,the tube appeared to be an almost complete colonic structure and was verified to be connected to the fistula.All of the involved tissue and fistula were removed,and the defect in the pelvic floor was closed by suturing after surgery.After 8 mo,the postoperative follow-up has been uneventful.CONCLUSION ATD may be a differential diagnosis in sinus tract cases.Laparoscopy combined with open surgery is a viable treatment option.
