Abstract

Congenital pulmonary airway malformations (CPAM) are rare conditions generally diagnosed in childhood and possibly harboring malignant tumor growths. We describe a unique case of pleomorphic carcinoma in a longstanding type 1 CPAM diagnosed by wedge resection. The patient underwent completion left lower lobectomy and lymphadenectomy, but cancer recurred in nodal station #7 six months later. Clinicians should keep in mind that CPAM may hide radiologically undetectable malignancy in a relevant rate of cases, then requiring surgery in all patients. While MIA is the most common histology in type 1 CPAM, sarcomatoid change has herein been demonstrated.
