Abstract
Congenital Cystic Adenomatoid Malformation (CCAM) is an uncommon congenital pulmonary malformation that mostly affects newborn infants. However, it may sometimes occur in adults without any symptoms, and complete resection, such as lobectomy, is usually necessary for those at high risk of recurrence, malignancy, or possible massive hemorrhage. Herein, we report a case of adult CCAM presenting as a huge mass on a chest roentgenogram. Recurrence of CCAM was found 7 months after wedge resection. The patient then underwent another surgery with a right lower and middle bilobectomy, and has been regularly followed up at clinics, in a stable condition, since then. We reviewed the literature for a discussion of the clinical manifestations, radiology and histopathologic studies, as well as management of CCAM in adults.
