Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation: Antenatal ultrasonography features

Journal Title: Medical Journal Armed Forces - Year 2018, Vol 74, Issue 2

Abstract

Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM) recently being referred as congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM), is a rare congenital pulmonary anomaly with reported incidence of 1 in 25,000–35,000 live births.1 On antenatal ultrasonography (USG), characteristic appearance of lesion not only helps in diagnosing it but also excludes other fetal lung anomalies. We present here a case of CCAM
