Radiolucent chest lesions in a neonate due to congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation
Abstract
A localized radiolucent cystic lesion in the left lower lobe with shift of the mediastinum to the opposite side in a neonate is shown on chest X-ray and CT. Findings on conventional X-ray and particularly on CT are very suggestive for congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation type 1. Histology after lobectomy confirmed the diagnosis.
