A fatal case of congenital pulmonary airway malformation with aspergillosis in an adult

Abstract: Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation, currently referred as congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM), is one of the rare lung malformations seen in adults. We report a case of a 59-year-old male with a chronic cough and hemoptysis that was not amenable to bronchial embolization. Further work up revealed cystic changes with fungal ball and type 1 CPAM. Patients with this condition who survive to adulthood usually suffer from recurrent respiratory bacterial infections. Only three cases of fungal inv… Show more

“…The incidence in adults is even less frequent as they are usually discovered during prenatal screening by ultrasonography. There is limited evidence for managing CPAMS in adults which stems from case reviews and studies performed on the pediatric population [3][4][5][6][7]. This unique subset of patients is often asymptomatic and remains undiagnosed until later in life.…”

“…For the most part, CPAM presents with acute respiratory distress in neonates and infants, but occasionally it can remain unnoticed until adolescence or later life [ 14 ]. McDonough et al identified 42 cases of CPAM in the literature up until February 2012 presenting at an age greater than 17 years with equal prevalence in males and females [ 2 ].…”

“…Survival rate at 6 months of age seems to have improved [ 14 ] probably because of the increased number of identified CPAM from the more common use of prenatal ultrasound. Prognoses among adult CPAM cases vary.…”

“…A apresentação clínica nos casos não diagnosticados in utero é variável, desde hidropsia fetal ou hipoplasia pulmonar no período intrauterino e insuficiência respiratória nos primeiros meses de vida ou completa ausência de sintomas. 4 Durante a infância a pneumonia recorrente e o pneumotórax espontâneo são as formas de apresentação mais frequentes. A doente manteve--se assintomática até aos 5 anos, com apresentação de pneumonia atípica.…”
