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...

Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM) and bronchopulmonary sequestration are congenital lung lesions. They are classified as separate entities. Each of them has distinct embryology, pathology, and natural history. However there are some commonalities between them. CCAM may have a pulmonary artery supply, or be supplied like a sequestration from the aorta, and histological features o...

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 ...

In recent years the diagnosis of congenital cystic disease of the lung has been clarified and restricted as a result of the recognition of a variety of emphysematous and cystic lesions of diverse etiologies. True cystic disease is rare.1 Rarer still is the closely related condition first reported in 1897 by Stoerk as " cystic fetal bronchial adenoma, " 2 and introduced in the English language m...

ABSTRACT Background: Congenital malformations of lung, such as congenital lobar emphysema, cystic adenomatoid malformation, bronchial cyst, pulmonary sequestration are rare occurrence. However, our hospital being in a rural area attracts large number patients with complex malformations. Method: This retrospective analysis is done to evaluate diagnostic accuracy, safety and efficacy outcomes ope...

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...

Pediatric respiratory disease related to congenital and genetic etiologies are important topics found on the USMLE. Congenital disease to be aware of include Diaphragmatic hernias, congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation, surfactant deficiency, pediatric pulmonary hypoplasia, and bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Genetic disease to be aware of include cystic fibrosis, alpha 1 antitrypsin, and prim...

Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation is a rare, but well-known disease. It can be managed conservatively in patients without symptoms or require surgical removal when symptomatic. The surgical option of choice is en bloc resection of the affected lesion. We report an experience of life-threatening congenital cystic adenoid malformation in a low-birth-weight (1,590 g) premature neonate who...
