【 摘 要 】

Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM) is a developmental anomaly of the lung tissue occuring in paediatric age group. They are conglomerates of bronchopulmonary foregut malformations . Synononymously also denoted as congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM). In this anomaly an entire lobe of lung is replaced by a non-working cystic piece of abnormal lung tissue. This abnormal tissue will never function as normal lung tissue. This is a case of a child who remained asymptomatic for long and presented complaints at the age of two.
