This study presents 18 cases of prenatally diagnosed congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM) to identify potential factors that could predict prognosis. Comparisons of prenatal parameters were made between fetuses that survived and those that died perinatally. It was found that microcystic lesion, bilateral lung involvement and hydrops were each highly correlated with poor prognosis, while neither polyhydramnios nor mediastinal shift was significantly associated with had outcome. Fetal interventions were indicated only in two of the surviving cases: a thoracocentesis and a cysto-amniotic shunt. A therapeutic amniocentesis was performed in one case of polyhydramnios. The diagnosis of CCAM was histologically confirmed in all cases by necropsy or by postnatal lobectomy.
