โœฆ Synopsis

Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM) of the lung is a rare pulmonary lesion, characterized by an excessive overgrowth of the terminal respiratory bronchioles.',' About 200 cases have been reported in the literature to date. The lesion is almost always unilateral3 and may occur in any lobe.'

There are two classifications of CCAM. The first, a pathological one, was proposed by Stocker et al.,' who divided this anomaly into three subtypes: type l-large cysts (>1 cm); type 2-multiple small cysts (<1 cm); and type 3-noncystic lesions (solid mass). An ultrasonographic classification* distinguishes between two subgroups: microcystic lesions with cysts <5 mm in diameter and macrocystic lesions with cysts of

## Abstract Prenatal identification of lung abnormalities has increased with prenatal surveillance. Treatment usually requires serial ultrasound observation but in rare situations in utero therapy may be required for fetal survival. We review the genetics, prenatal evaluation, and treatment of lung
