congenial cystic adenomatoid malformation of the lung (ccaml) is a rare lesion and is characterized by a multicystic mass of pulmonary tissue with an abnormal proliferation of bronchial structures. we report a case of ccaml type i presenting with heart displacement that was diagnosed prenatally.

Congenital cystic Adenomatoid malformation is a rare developmental abnormality of the lung occuring in 1-4/100000 live births.In most cases the outcome with CCAM in fetus is very good,while in some cases the outcome is very bad and can be life threatning for the fetus.we report here a case of 40 day old female infant who presented with worsening respiratory distress since birth and x ray and CT...

BACKGROUND Sequestration with associated cystic adenomatoid malformation is rare. A study was undertaken to determine whether pulmonary sequestration associated with congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation has a more favourable natural history than that of sequestration without associated cystic adenomatoid malformation. METHODS An outline of the postnatal work up leading to the management...

background the most common space occupying lesions of the fetal thorax are congenital diaphragmatic hernia (cdh), congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (ccam), and bronchopulmonary sequestration (bps). although applications of prenatal mri have been vastly improved in the recent years, its use in the assessment of space occupying lesions of the fetal chest differs among centers. objectives...

background congenital pulmonary lesions may be diagnosed through ultrasonographic screenings or be revealed as causes of respiratory distress in the neonatal period and infancy. less commonly, they are detected as incidental features. objectives our study represents the diversity of congenital pulmonary lesions and their characteristics during an 11-year period in a referral teaching children’s...

hyper - immunoglobulin e syndrome is a rare primary immunodeficiency disease characterized by recurrent abscess formation, respiratory tract infections and very high titers of serum ige associated with peculiar face and skeletal features. we report a seven-year old  girl  presenting with persistent productive cough and  history of chronic eczematoid facial lesions since infancy  and  two episod...

Fetal lung masses are rare findings in prenatal ultrasound scanning in general population, of which congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation is the most commonly diagnosed type. This paper reports a single case of congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation detected at our hospital and the subsequent clinical follow-up using ultrasound scanning and fetal magnetic resonance imaging.

Aim. Congenital cystic adenomatoid lung malformation is a rare unilateral dysplasia of the lung. Three pathologic types are described in the literature: type I with cysts >2 cm, type II with cysts <1 cm, and type III with microcysts. The aim of this paper is to present a case of a fetus with congenital cystic adenomatoid lung malformation and discuss the necessity for pregnancy termination acco...

Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation of the lung is a developmental abnormality characterized by abnormal proliferation of terminal bronchioles forming cysts of varying sizes. Extensive lesions are associated with a poor prognosis due to the development of nonimmune hydrops and/or pulmonary hypoplasia. The advent of high-resolution ultrasonography has made it possible to identify these le...

Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation of the lung is rare in adults. We present a 51-year-old man with recurrent lower respiratory tract infections and intermittent febrile episodes for more than 10 years. Multiple cavitary lesions with fluid accumulation were seen in the right lower lobe of the lung on radiography and computed tomography of the chest. Wedge resection of the right lower lo...
