  • Title: [Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation--clinical spectrum and management].

    Abstract:
    Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM) is one of the most frequent dysplasias of the lung. Diagnosis is often suspected in utero and urges obstetricians, pediatricians, and pediatric surgeons to make appropriate management decisions as to an optimal management for the affected patients. We report on a preterm baby with a gestational age of 33 weeks, suffering from hydrops fetalis and postnatal respiratory distress syndrome, a two-year old boy with clinical signs of a foreign body aspiration, and a seven-year old boy with a funnel chest. In each case, surgical resection was performed, the histology revealing CCAM. Our case report describes the broad clinical spectrum of CCAM. An algorithm is presented, helping to make diagnostic and therapeutic decisions.
