title: [Cystic adenomatoid malformation of the lung: experience in 4 operated cases].
abstract: The congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (MACP), represents the congenital lung malformation most frequent in pediatric age. After examining the embryology, the treatment and the evolution of the malformation we wish to report our experience of four cases of MACP in patients 2 month, 1, 2 and 3 years of age. Lobectomy has cured all patients with the exception of one; this child had a MACP of the lung associated with Rhabdomyosarcoma and died after one and half year of chemotherapy.
