[Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation]

Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (MCAM) is a rare disease which commences as a rule in the neonatal period with respiratory distress. The diagnosis is established radiologically but may also be established prenatally by ultrasound scanning. Treatment is surgical. Two cases of MCAM are described. One was a boy aged 5 1/2 months with failure to thrive and the other a 28 week foetus with hydrops foetalis.
