Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM) is an hamartomatous congenital pulmonary airway malformation with incidence ranging between 1:10,000 and 1:35,000 newborns. Currently CCAM is classified into five groups according to clinical and pathological features. The clinical outcome varies depending on the subtype and the extent of involvement. The authors report the case of a premature m...

Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM) is a rare congenital abnormality. Symptomatic presentation in adult life is extremely uncommon. The usual radiological appearance of CCAM is a cystic space-occupying lesion. Patients with underlying cystic lung disease can develop in-flight complications because of pressure-volume changes during ascent. We report the first ever case in which spo...

OBJECTIVE Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM) is the most common surgically resected pulmonary malformation in children. This retrospective study was undertaken to present the experience of 172 CCAM cases in a pediatric hospital. METHODS Published series with a small number of patients reports details of lesions, progress and management. As this study addresses clinical characte...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of prenatal steroid treatment in fetuses with sonographically diagnosed congenital cystic adenomatoid malformations (CCAMs). METHODS This was an institutional review board-approved retrospective review of 372 patients referred to the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), for fetal CCAM. Inclusion criteria were (1) a predo...

Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM) of the lung is a rare pulmonary lesion. The prognosis is variable ranging from perinatal death to spontaneous in utero regression, with no neonatal morbidity. We present a case of CCAM diagnosed at 23 weeks' gestation using results of prenatal sonograms. Both prenatal Two-Dimensional and Three-Dimensional sonograms revealed multiple cystic lesio...

Vehicles will be wirelessly connected in the future, and they able to exchange information with other vehicles their surroundings for safer more efficient driving. 5G communication systems have introduced advanced functionalities radio solutions support connected, cooperative, automated mobility (CCAM) services demanding quality of service requirements. However, interoperability among involved ...

A case of hydatid cyst within a congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM) of the right lower lobe of lung in an 8-year-old girl is reported. Presence of CCAM was confirmed on histopathology of the lung tissue attached to the specimen.

AIM To assess reasons for higher levels of anxiety generated by prenatal counselling of a condition with good outcome such as cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM) of the lung compared to a life-threatening malformation such as congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). MATERIALS AND METHODS The Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-S) was used to measure anxiety in two groups of mothe...

Development of the respiratory system begins at 3 weeks gestation, and aberrations in the developmental processes may give rise to a group of structural abnormalities collectively referred to as bronchopulmonary foregut malformations (BPFMs). The common BPFMs include congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM), pulmonary sequestration, congenital lobar emphysema, and bronchogenic cysts (B...

In this study, we aim to investigate the imaging appearances of congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM) of the lung, and to enhance the understanding of this disease. A total of 11 cases with CCAM of the lung were confirmed by surgery and pathology. Preoperative chest computed tomography (CT) scan was performed in all patients, and high resolution CT scan was performed in lesion areas...
