Abstract:
Cystic adenomatoid malformations are part of localized malformations of lung tissue. They are characterized by the presence of cysts. The diagnosis is typically made during the second trimester of pregnancy. Altough ultrasound of the third trimester can show normalization, it is essential to complete the medical investigation during the first months of life with a computed tomography of the chest. In asymptomatic forms, performing surgical resection is a matter of discussion and, when a conservative treatment is chosen, radiological monitoring should be performed during the entire life.
