[Prenatal diagnosis of an adenomatoid malformation of the lung. Apropos of 2 cases].

Two cases of pulmonary cystic adenomatoid malformation are presented. The first case presented with bilateral pulmonary cystic involvement associated with oligoamnios and feto-placental anasarca. A peculiar feature of this case was the elevated level of alphafetoprotein in the amniotic fluid. In the second case, the pulmonary involvement was limited to one lobe.

In connection with these two cases, a discussion based on the data in the literature.
