Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM)
Etiology

Unclear, perhaps abnormal blood supply or abnormal proliferation of bronchioli.

Clinical signs
  • more common in males
  • clinical presentation:
    • prenatally often hydrops of the fetus and intrauterine death
    • respiratory distress syndrome perinatally
    • usually one lobe is affected
    • the finding may mimic congenital lobar emphysema
  • 20% of affected (usualy CCAM of type 2) have other congenital malformations, e.g. agenesis of the kindeys

Histology

Cystic malformation of the pulmonary tissue; according to the size and histological structure of the wall and lining of the cysts (thickness, presence of the cartilage and striated muscle, mucin producing cells) 3 types of CCAM can be recognized: CCAM I – III.

Case study
Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation of lung
Marta Ježová
History

Abortus imminens in 1st trimester. Ultrasound examination in 20 w.g. reveals bilateral macrocystic malformation of lungs with hydrops, ascites.

Macroscopic appearance
  • 21-week fetus
  • congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation of inferior and middle lobe of the right lung
  • mediastinal shift
  • hypoplastic left lung
  • ascites
