The congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation of the lung is an unusual pulmonary entity, and usuallysymptomatic in infancy with sign of resiratory distress. This abnormality consists of enlarged, multicystic lobewith smooth-walled cysts of variable sized, which can communicate with major bronchi through malformed air passagethat usually lacks in cartilage. Roentgenographic findings are three types. First type is multicystic patternshowing various sized of cysts and causing mediastinal shift with pulmonary herniation. Second type is dominantcystic pattern underlying multicystic lesion, Third type is solid homogenous mass. Prompt surgical resection ischoice of treatment. We recently experienced a case of congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation of the lung of27 day female in fant and report with reviwe of literatures.
