Abstract
|
|
|
Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation of the lung is a rare form of congenital
cystic disease of the lung and associated with developmental arrest of bronchioles in
embryonic life. We report 3 cases of congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation which
are classified as type Ⅰ, Ⅱ and Ⅲ according to the morphological classification by
Stocker et al.
The first case was a 6-year-old female with a mass in the lower lobe of the right
lung. The mass was composed of several cysts which were ailed with inflammatory
exudate and lined by ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium (type Ⅰ + Ⅱ).
The second case was a 4-year-old female with a mass in the muddle lobe of the
right lung. It was Composed of numerous small cysts which were uniform sized and
contained inflammatory exudate. These were lined by ciliated columnar and
pseudostratified columnar epithelium (type Ⅱ).
The third case was a stillborn female at 27 weeks of gestation. There was generalized
edema and severe ascites. The left lower lobe consisted of an ill-defined solid area and
small cysts. The solid lesion was composed of bronchiole-sized cysts lined by
non-ciliated cuboidal epithelium (type Ⅱ + Ⅲ).
