In-flight spontaneous pneumothorax: congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation of the lung.
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...
متن کاملCongenital Cystic Adenomatoid Malformation of the Lung
Congenital cystic adenomatous malformations (CCAMs) of the lung represent the most common lung defect diagnosed prenatally. CCAMs are intrapulmonary lesions with a typical hyperechoic appearance on ultrasound (US), with or without cystic components. Both sides of the lung, both sexes, and all races are equally affected. Most fetuses with CCAM are detected prenatally and have a good outcome, but...

Ultrastructural study of a congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation of the lung revealed a persistence of type 2 pneumocytes lining the alveolar and gland-like spaces. The larger cystic areas were lined by normal bronchiolar-type epithelium and were surrounded by a few smooth muscle cells. The interstitium contained undifferentiated mesenchymal cells. No cartilage or bronchial glands were pre...

Australasian Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine August 2009; 12 (3) Introduction Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM) is an uncommon fetal lung anomaly involving cystic changes to the terminal bronchioles. The condition requires close monitoring during the antenatal period with ultrasound in addition to input from the neonatal and paediatric surgical teams. This case study involves ...
متن کاملCongenital cystic adenomatoid malformation of the lung--case report.
Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation of the lung is a rare but potentially lethal variety of congenital pulmonary defect. This is a multicystic mass of dysplastic pulmonary tissue in which there is proliferation of bronchial structure at the expense of alveoli. We report a newborn infant with respiratory distress. The chest X-ray showed multicystic lesions with air-fluid level and shift o...
