Summary
Congenital Cystic Adenomatoid Malformation (CCAM) is a rare lung condition. Surgical resection of bilateral and multilobar CCAM in an infant yielded positive clinical outcomes, highlighting the importance of timely intervention.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Surgery
- Pulmonology
- Medical Imaging
Background:
- Congenital Cystic Adenomatoid Malformation (CCAM) is an uncommon congenital pulmonary malformation.
- Bilateral and multilobar CCAM represents a rare and complex presentation of this condition.
- Prognosis is influenced by malformation type, fetal hydrops, and extent of lung involvement.
Observation:
- A case of bilateral and multilobar CCAM was identified in a four-month-old infant.
- The infant presented with symptoms requiring surgical intervention.
- Anatomic and functional imaging studies informed the treatment strategy.
Findings:
- Surgical resection of the affected lung lesions was performed.
- The patient demonstrated good clinical results following the surgical procedures.
- The case highlights a rare instance of multiple CCAM affectations.
Implications:
- Early diagnosis and surgical management of CCAM can lead to favorable outcomes.
- Understanding the physiopathological aspects is crucial for effective treatment planning.
- This case contributes to the limited literature on extensive CCAM presentations and their surgical management.
