  • Title: Type III congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation of the lung: another cause of elevated alpha fetoprotein?
    Author: Petit P, Bossens M, Thomas D, Moerman P, Fryns JP, Van den Berghe H.
    Journal: Clin Genet; 1987 Sep; 32(3):172-4. PubMed ID: 2441912.
    Abstract:
    In this report we document the first observation of highly elevated alpha fetoprotein (AFP) levels in the amniotic fluid of a 23-week gestation male fetus with cystic adenomatoid lung malformation (CCAML) Type III and caudal regression. The increase of AFP levels may be related to the presence of tumor-like lung masses of embryonic origin.
