Abstract

Congenital Cystic Adenomatoid Malformation Type-I corresponds to respiratory distress and is a congenital lung condition linked to aberrant lung development brought on by lung tissue overgrowth that creates cysts in the lung lobes.

A 36-year-old female patient with uterine gestation of 24 weeks reported with thin-walled cystic lesion in left thoracic cavity displacing the cardia to right side which could have likely been CCAM Type-1. At 20th day of the delivery, CECT Chest was performed which reported well-defined round thin-walled unilocular cystic lesion in the apico posterior segment of left upper lobe with air-fluid level and compensatory hypertrophy of left upper lobe- confirming the diagnosis of Congenital Cystic Adenomatoid Malformation Type-I. After the confirmatory diagnosis of CCAM Type-, the patient was admitted to NICU and underwent lobectomy surgery.
