Given the possible clinical disappearance or resolution of cystic adenomatoid malformation of the lung, we believe that surgery is justified at birth only in symptomatic and radiologically positive neonates. It could be safely delayed in those asymptomatic patients with either positive or negative chest X-ray. The former need computed tomography at birth, whereas, in the latter, it should be performed at 6 months of age for a more definitive assessment of the patient.
