Enteric duplication cysts (EDCs) are rare congenital anomalies that can occur along any part of the gastrointestinal tract, with multiple cysts being exceptionally uncommon. We present the case of a five-month-old infant with multiple prenatally diagnosed EDCs, including a pedunculated cyst and a large tubular duplication near the ileocecal valve. The infant remained asymptomatic, and elective surgical resection was performed. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis, revealing distinct structural features and chronic inflammatory changes. This case highlights the morphological variety of multiple duplication cysts and underscores the importance of prenatal detection and timely surgical intervention to prevent complications.
