    Author: Benouaich V, Marcheix B, Begueret H, Brouchet L, Velly JF, Jougon J.
    Journal: Asian Cardiovasc Thorac Ann; 2009 Dec; 17(6):634-6. PubMed ID: 20026542.
    Abstract:
    Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation is rare in adults, and often asymptomatic. We describe a case of malignant degeneration of a congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation in a 77-year-old man. Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation must be considered a premalignant lesion, even in older patients. Rigorous preoperative staging must be undertaken. Anatomic resection with extensive lymphadenectomy remains the treatment of choice.
