Antenatal ultrasound diagnosis in cystic adenomatoid malformation of the lung--case report.

Antenatal ultrasound diagnosis of cystic adenomatoid malformation was made in a fetus of 27 weeks gestation. The child was born at term and successfully operated upon 30 hours later. Early recognition by ultrasound allowed for adequate planning and preparation of management between obstetricians, neonatologists , and pediatric surgeons. The present case appears to be the fourth one reported with antenatal ultrasound diagnosis and the first one with successful operation, long-term survival and cure.
