[Thoracic opacity in a newborn infant disclosing an adenomatoid cyst of the lung. Radio-echographic case].
In a preterm infant (28 week gestation), the chest film performed at 1 hour of life because of mild respiratory insufficiency showed a massive opacity of the right hemithorax. Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation was suspected on the basis of ultrasonographic findings of multiple cysts. It was confirmed by further X ray examination and pathologic findings. This unusual case shows the ultrasonographic pattern and X ray evolution of this rare malformation.
