Late presentation of congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation.
We present the case of a 9 year old girl with history of progressive pneumatoceles and infection since she was 3 years old. A chest computerized tomography revealed a cystic lung mass. The patient was taken to surgery and a left lower lobe lobectomy was performed. The pathologic diagnosis was that of a congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation. We discuss the clinical presentation, and pathology of this entity with a brief review of the literature.
