Spontaneous postnatal resolution of a cystic lung mass: A case report

J Pediatr Surg. 2002 Jun;37(6):916-8. doi: 10.1053/jpsu.2002.32911.

Abstract

Postnatal cystic adenomatoid malformations (CAMs) are managed by surgical excision. Asymptomatic CAMs have decreased in size with initial observation. This is the first reported case of complete resolution of a postnatal CAM. Premature infants with asymptomatic CAMs may benefit from careful observation as their initial treatment.
