Özet
Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformations (CCAMs) are hamartomatous lesions of pulmonary airway which are characterized by proliferations of terminal brochioles. They are usually infiltrated to one lobe. These patients are during the postnatal period at a level of 80% and adult patients are rare. We report a case of Stocker type 3 CCAM which caused respiratory distress in a premature born infant weighing 1940 g who was delivered by emergency caesarean section. Radiological imaging results revealed CCAM. He subsequently underwent right lobectomy. Pathological examination showed immature airspaces and interstitium, including bronchioles and cartilage as type 3 CCAM. CCAM should be considered in newborns with respiratory distress.
