“…Even in recent reports [Cloutier et al, 1993], bilateral BPFM are still considered exceedingly rare. This was not so in this series, with 1/11 having bilateral CCAML 1, or in the extensive literature review [Miller et al, 1980;Meagher et al, 1993;Haddon and Bowen, 1991;Revillon et al, 1993;Petit et al, 1987;Neilson et al, 1991;Heydanus et al, 1993;McKusick and Fisher, 1958;Chao and Monoson, 1990;Schenck, 1937;Levkoff et al, 1964;Willius, 1937;Numabe et al, 1994;Murray et al, 1994;Walker and Cudmore, 1990;Rempen et al, 1987]. In other words, bilateral lung involvement should be anticipated and looked for.…”

The bronchopulmonary-foregut malformations (BPFM) are usually sporadic, solitary cystic hamartomas involving conducting airways, arteries, venous drainage, and lung parenchyma. Transitional, compound hamartomas exist, and only their morphology is well-known. Between 1984-1994 we encountered and studied 10 unrelated patients and a stillborn infant with BPFM (out of 24,000 families). Ten were diagnosed in utero and one at birth as having congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation of the lung (CCAML). Postnatally, two diagnoses (20%) were corrected to bronchogenic cyst (BC) and diaphragmatic hernia, respectively. Bilateral lung involvement was present in 1 patient, and in 2 there was a considerable macroscopic regression of the hamartoma. Histologic studies of the six resected CCAML confirmed the diagnosis and implied dysregulated paracrine growth with its cellular and extracellular growth factors, protooncogenes, oncogenes, cytokines, cell-adhesive molecules, and receptors of these regulatory peptides, and their complex interactions as developmental morphogens in time and space.

Congenital lung cysts such as congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation, pulmonary sequestration, congenital lobar emphysema, and bronchogenic cysts are rare but fascinating anomalies of lung development. While there are many similarities in terms of their presenting features, there are particular differences between the diagnostic groups that are important to highlight, especially in relationship to approaches to imaging and long-term outcome. A case of each entity is presented with an emphasis on the contemporary approach to diagnostic investigations and therapeutic options.
