Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation of the lung associated with esophageal atresia and tracheoesophageal fistula

Pediatr Surg Int. 1999;15(3-4):260-3. doi: 10.1007/s003830050571.

Abstract

Bronchopulmonary malformations associated with esophageal atresia (EA) and tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) are extremely rare. The authors describe a case of type II congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM) of the right lower lobe associated with EA and TEF (Vogt-Gross type C) in a full-term female infant. The CCAM presented as an incidental radiologic finding, and a contralateral tension pneumothorax developed shortly after surgical repair of the EA. Early recognition of this rare association is essential for correct operative management.
