Abstract
Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM), also known as Congenital Pulmonary Airway Malformation (CPAM) is a rare developmental anomaly of lung with unknown etiology. It is seen most commonly in the lungs of infants and has features of both immaturity and malformation of the small airways and distal lung parenchyma. With the increasing use of prenatal ultrasonography, cystic lung lesions are detected more often antenatally, which allows for better neonatal management. We report a case of 3 day old female baby presenting with respiratory distress soon after birth.
