Abstract

Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation of the lung (CCAM) is a rare benign pulmonary lesion characterized by abnormal overgrowth of the fetal bronchiole. The prenatal diagnosis of CCAM is important because the prognosis of the CCAM is depend on the type, bilaterality, and other associated abnormalities, which can be detected by prenatal ultrasonography. We experienced a case of CCAM that was detected by prenatal ultrasonography and report the case with a review of several related literatures.
