[Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation of the lung. Apropos of 7 cases].
Seven new cases of congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation of the lung have been observed in our institution during the past twelve years. The diagnosis was made in five cases on stillborn fetuses between 16 to 23 weeks of gestation and in two cases in a three-day-old infant and in a two-month-old baby. Adopting the histological classification proposed by Stocker, the seven cases observed were type II. A review of the literature on this malformation reveals the most important characteristics of this entity (clinical aspects, macroscopic and microscopic features, associated malformations) and provides certain elements of the pathogenesis which remains unclear. Finally, only histological examination can confirm the diagnosis of this malformation.
