Multicystic dysplastic kidney and congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation of the lung are independent disorders, but both result from abnormal morphogenesis during embryogenesis. Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation of the lung is associated with renal anomalies as well as other extrapulmonary anomalies and almost all cases with these anomalies are stillborn. We report a case of a 21-month-old male who was admitted with the impression of acute infectious gastroenteritis; multicystic dysplastic kidney with congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation of the lung was detected incidentally during evaluation.

CCAM with no other anomalies such as sequestration receives its blood supply from the pulmonary artery. Our case presented with a simple CCAM and no other anomalies but with a feeding artery. Although preoperative evaluation may not show feeding arteries, they may exist in congenital cystic lung diseases.

Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM), which is classified into five types according to size and bronchial invasion, is a rare type of developmental anomaly of the lung. CCAM is occasionally accompanied by malignancy, such as bronchioloalveolar carcinoma (BAC) or rhabdomyosarcoma. As defined by the WHO, atypical adenomatous hyperplasia (AAH) is a non-invasive spread of atypical epithelial cells in single rows along the alveolar wall, within a lesion that is usually less than 5 mm in diameter. AAH was also regarded as a pre-invasive neoplasia, especially associated with BAC and adenocarcinoma. We report a case of type II CCAM with AAH in adults, with a review of the references.
