Abstract

Congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM), previously known as congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM) is a less frequent congenital malformation that is part of the cystic lungs diseases. It can be diagnosed in a prenatal period or present itself later as a casual finding or as a recurrent pneumonia. It is classified in 5 types in relation to anatomopathology conditions and the size of the lesion. Two cases of type 1 congenital malformation of the pulmonary airway are presented, together with a review of the literature. We describe the case of a newborn which was diagnosed by prenatal sonography, and the other case was diagnosed months after birth as incidental lesions.
