Pulmonary arteriovenous malformation mimicking congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation in a newborn.
Congenital pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are rare lesions, usually asymptomatic. We report on the case of a baby who was thought to have a congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation of the left upper lobe based on prenatal and postnatal imaging. Final pathology revealed a congenital pulmonary AVM. Neither the child nor her family have any evidence of hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of a pulmonary AVM mimicking a congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation.
