  In this paper, we use large scale structure observations to test the cosmic
distance duality relation (CDDR), $D_{\rm L}(1+z)^{-2}/D_{\rm A}=\eta=1 $, with
$D_{\rm L}$ and $D_{\rm A}$, being the luminosity and angular diameter
distances, respectively. In order to perform the test, the following data set
are considered: strong lensing systems and galaxy cluster measurements (gas
mass fractions). No specific cosmological model is adopted, only a flat
universe is assumed. By considering two $\eta(z)$ parametrizations, we obtained
the validity of the CDDR within $1.5\sigma$ which is in full agreement with
other recent tests involving cosmological data. It is worth to comment that our
results are independent of the baryon budget of galaxy clusters.
