A congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM) occurring concurrently with an enteric duplication cyst is a rare anomaly. Definitive management for both abnormalities is usually surgical resection. We present the uncommon case of a neonate with a CPAM and ileal duplication cyst, including pre-natal and post-natal workup. The patient was brought to the operating room for laparoscopic duplication cyst excision at 3 months of age. The patient returned to the operating room for a thoracoscopic right lower lobectomy at five months of age. This case presents a rare congenital anomaly with the concurrent presentation of a CPAM and enteric duplication cyst, with both being successfully excised minimally invasively.
