Abstract

SummaryThe clinical histories and postmortem findings of two infants with congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation of the lung (CCAML) are reported. One, liveborn though hydropic, died within one hour; the other was stillborn, but not hydropic. In both cases there had been maternal hydramnios. The association of hydramnios with this condition is probably due to impaired absorption of amniotic fluid by both the cystic tumour and the remaining lung tissue which is displaced and compressed.
