ABSTRACT

Introduction: congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation of the lung described by Bartholinuis in 1687 is a rare entity characterized by an overgrowth of the main terminal bronchioles which replaced the alveoli, causing enlargement of the affected lobe.
Objective: to show the autopsy findings of a case of congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation of the lung, using the classification proposed by Stocker and others.
Methods: literature review on organizational and medical records of pregnant women is conducted.
Results: this is a twenty- one year- old pregnant woman who goes to the Gynecobstetric Teaching Hospital of Guanabacoa in February 2010 for termination of pregnancy since an ultrasound at 24 weeks showed the presence of lung cysts, mediastinal shift, hydrothorax, ascites, and polyhydramnios. This approach was successful and the pathology study of the fetus was performed.
Conclusions: type III cystic adenomatoid lung malformation was diagnosed in early gestation, which is a rare lung disorder. This situation allowed informed decision for termination of pregnancy.
