Abstract

 Congenital cystic adenomatous malformation (CCAM) of lung is a rare form of congenital hamartomatous lesions of the lung consisting of cysts filled with air. The general clinic presentation of CCAM is dyspnea in newborns. CCAM may mimic congenital pneumonia or respiratory distress syndrome. After the delivery, the newborn male who had low Apgar score and severe respiratory distress was intubated and admitted to neonatal intensive care unit. Patient was ventilated for 50 days and weaned from the mechanical ventilator at 50th day. Type II CCAM of the lung was diagnosed according to the chest radiographs and computed tomography scan signs. Although the surgeons suggested lobectomy considering the patient's not completely asymptomatic, family did not accept this operation due to the risk of death. The patient was discharged from the hospital until the next control. Key word: Congenital cystic adenomatous malformation of lunch, newborn, conservative treatment
