Congenital pulmonary airway malformation in a cat.

Congenital structural anomalies of the lower airways of the respiratory tract are uncommon in cats. We describe here a case of cystic pulmonary lesions in a 6-wk-old domestic shorthair cat consistent with congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM; formerly referred to as cystic adenomatoid malformation of the lung, or congenital pulmonary adenomatoid malformation; Stocker type II). CPAM is rarely reported in veterinary species and, to our knowledge, has not been reported in cats.

[Clinical and morphological characteristics of lung sequestration].

Objective: To study the clinical and morphological manifestations of lung sequestration.

Material And Methods: Surgical material (lung tissue) of 18 patients (2017-2021) and 8 archival observations (1972-1994) of confirmed lung sequestration were examined. Histological staining (hematoxylin and eosin, Schiff reagent, Ziehl-Neelsen, picrofuchsin according to Van Gieson) and immunohistochemical reactions with antibodies to SMA, TTF1, CK5/6 (DAKO) were performed.

Operative Timing for Elective Thoracoscopic Lobectomy for CPAM and Sequestration: A NSQIP-Pediatric Analysis 2017-2021.

Background: There is limited literature on optimal timing for elective thoracoscopic lobectomy for congenital pulmonary airway malformations (CPAM) and sequestration. Using NSQIP-P, we aim to assess optimal operative timing for elective thoracoscopic lobectomy for CPAM and sequestration.

Methods: Data from the NSQIP-Pediatric registry was used to evaluate elective thoracoscopic lobectomy patients from 2017 to 2021 diagnosed with congenital pulmonary airway malformation or sequestration.

Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation in a toddler: Unusual presentation with pleural effusion.

Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation encompasses a series of cystic malformative lesions characterized by aberrant bronchiolar formations of varying size and dispersion. Most cases of this illness are detected in the first few years of life, usually affecting infants. We report a case of CCAM presenting as pleural effusion in a 15-month-old boy who presented with acute respiratory distress.

MRI in the prenatal genetic diagnosis and intrauterine treatment of fetal congenital cystic adenoma of the lung.

Objective: To investigate the value of magnetic resonance examination technique for prenatal genetic diagnosis and clinical intrauterine treatment of fetal congenital cystic adenoma (CCAM) of the lung.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 108 pregnant women admitted to a certain hospital from January 2016 to January 2022 for pre natal examination and consultation on eugenics. The selected pregnant women were aged 20-40 and had a gestational age of 17-36 weeks.

Single-stage Open Lobectomy and Modified Ravitch Procedure in an Infant with Coexisting Severe Pectus Excavatum and Congenital Cystic Adenomatous Malformation.

Coexisting congenital cystic adenomatous malformation of the lungs and severe pectus excavatum (PE) is an uncommon presentation that poses significant management challenges. Conventionally managed in a staged manner, there are increasing reports of superior outcomes with single-staged concurrent repair with minimally invasive techniques (video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery [VATS] and minimally invasive repair of PE [MIRPE]). The outcome of a single-stage open repair for both anomalies has not been previously reported to the best of our search.

Congenital Chest Lesions and Interventions.

Anomalies of the fetal chest require advanced imaging with ultrasound and MR imaging as well as expertise on the part of the interpreting pediatric radiologist. Congenital diaphragmatic hernia and congenital lung malformation are the most frequently seen, and in both conditions, the radiologist should provide both detailed anatomic description and measurement data for prognostication. This article provides a detailed approach to imaging the anatomy, in-depth explanation of available measurements and prognostic value, and keys to identifying candidates for fetal intervention.

Thoracoscopic surgery for rare congenital pulmonary airway malformations in adults: a decade of retrospective study.

Background: Congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM) is a rare benign deformity of the lungs in adults. Our study aimed to evaluate the clinical features and compare the effect of thoracoscopic lobectomy and wedge resection for adult CPAMs.

Methods: This was a retrospective study including eighteen adults with CPAMs recruited between 2013 and 2023.

Antenatally Detected Thoracic Lesions: Prognosis, Management and Outcome.

Background: Foetal thoracic lesions are uncommon, with the incidence of 1 in 15,000 live births. Antenatal monitoring of these lesions is required to prognosticate the parents about the postnatal outcome of the lesions and about the well-being of the baby. Foetal ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are the modalities to detect these lesions and follow-up during pregnancy and postnatally.

Surgical Management of Congenital Pulmonary Airway Malformations (CPAM) in an Infant and a Toddler: Case Report Depicting Two Distinct Surgical Techniques With Successful Outcomes.

Congenital pulmonary airway malformations (CPAM) compose the major part of congenital lung malformations (CLM) and have traditionally been treated by pulmonary lobectomy. In terms of surgical strategy, lobectomy has conventionally been the preferred treatment for CPAM localized to a single lobe. More recently, alternative approaches including lung-sparing resections (LSR), such as wedge or non-anatomic resections and segmentectomy, have been suggested.

[Clinicopathological and genetic characteristics of congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation of lung and its associated lung cancer in adults].

To investigate the clinicopathological features and genetic characteristics of congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM) of lung and CCAM associated lung cancer in adults. A total of 13 cases of CCAM of lung in adults, diagnosed from June 2015 to May 2023, were collected from the Department of Pathology, Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital, Tongji University School of Medicine, China. Their histopathological features were correlated with probable development into lung cancer.
