Arch Argent Pediatr 2013;111(2):e54-e57 / e54 RESUMENEl propósito de este trabajo es examinar el caso de un paciente con una forma de presentación no habitual y grave de una patología poco frecuente, como la malformación adenomatoidea quística pulmonar. Se trata de un lactante de 50 días de vida que ingresó en la unidad de cuidados intensivos pediátricos con insuficiencia respiratoria y colapso circulatorio refractario a la expansión de volumen y los inotrópicos. La radiografía de tórax mostró una imagen radiolúcida, homogénea, en la base pulmonar derecha, que parecía corresponder a una lesión bullosa en el lóbulo inferior derecho, asociada a neumotórax homolateral. Se realizó drenaje con colocación de un tubo de avenamiento pleural y se observó una mejoría clínica posterior. Se efectuó la resección del quiste mediante lobectomía inferior derecha; el diagnóstico histopatológico fue malformación adenomatoidea quística de la vía aérea de tipo 4 (clasificación de Stocker). El paciente evolucionó favorablemente. Palabras clave: malformación adenomatoidea quística congénita del pulmón, neumotórax, lactante. SUMMARYThe purpose of this paper is to examine the case of a 50-day-old patient with an unusual and severe presentation of a rare disease: congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation of the lung. The infant was admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit with respiratory failure and circulatory collapse refractory to intravenous fluids and inotropic drugs. Chest X-ray showed a radiolucent homogeneous image in the right lung base, suggesting bullous lesion of the right lower lobe associated with ipsilateral pneumothorax. Drainage was performed by placing a chest tube with subsequent clinical improvement. Later the cyst was resected by right lower lobectomy; the histopathological diagnosis was congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation type 4 (Stocker classification). The patient evolved favorably.
