Congenital Cystic Adenomatoid Malformation in a Premature Newborn: Case Report
Abstract: Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM) is a rare congenital condition affecting the respiratory systems development. This case report presents a preterm newborn at 32 weeks gestation who experienced respiratory distress. A persistent radiolucent image in the lung base led to imaging studies, diagnosing CCAM, which required surgical intervention. The case highlights the complex management required for such malformations and the successful outcome following a lobectomy of the right lower lobe. This report emphasizes the need for early diagnosis and multidisciplinary care.
