Diagnosis With Brief Discussion
- Diagnosis
- Congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM)
- Radiologic Findings
- Chest x-ray : Increased opacity in left middle lung zone
CT : Chronic dense consolidation with GGO and emphysema in the LUL
- Brief Review
- The term congenital pulmonary airway malformation has been recommended as being preferable to the term congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation.
Only three types of CPAMs are distinguished at imaging: large cyst CPAM (type I) and small cyst CPAM (type II), which constitute macrocystic CPAMs; and microcystic or solid type (type III) lesions, which have cysts that are smaller than 5 mm in diameter, with no discernible cystic spaces.
