Abstract:
We describe five cases of cystic adenomatoid malformations of the lung collected from our files from 1994 to 2006. It is an unusual malformation and has features of immaturity with less than 400 cases previously published. All patients were surgically treated in our institution. We review the clinical outcome, microscopic findings, current classification schemes and prenatal surgical treatment. Our study includes 3 newborn males and two girls, 3 and 9 years old. All of them radiographically showed air or fluid filled cystic masses involving a single lobe. After lobectomy, four lung specimens were classified as Stoker type 2 lesions and the older one as type 1.
