“…These facts are similar to other published series.1 2 Antenatal diagnosis Diagnosis has been reported antenatally,3 6 and cystic adenomatoid malformation is one of the differential diagnoses of a mass in the chest seen on an antenatal ultrasound scan. Location of the stomach will particularly help in differentiating between cystic adenomatoid malformation and congenital diaphragmatic hernia.…”

“…Bilateral lung involvement has sometimes been reported. 1 The affected lung is usually enlarged and may be solid or contain cysts of various sizes. Large malformations can lead to displacement of mediastinal structures and compression of the heart and inferior vena cava (IVC), interfering with venous return and resulting in hydrops.…”

Prenatal ultrasound has been invaluable in furthering our understanding of the natural history of congenital malformations and in identifying pathophysiological features that affect prognosis.We describe a case, diagnosed prenatally at 24 weeks' gestation, of congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation of the left lung with massive mediastinal shift and compression of the right lung. Serial ultrasound examinations showed gradual reduction in the size of the mass relative to the thorax, with return of the mediastinum to the midline and normal development of the right lung. To our knowledge, this is the first time that such an observation has been reported. CASE REPORTA 29-yearA old woman, gravida 1, para a was admitted at 24 weeks· ' gestation in premature labor. Ultrasound examination of the fetus demonstrated massive mediastinal shift to the right side. The left lung was enlarged and extremely echo· genic. Cystic and tubular structures were noted at the base close to the left hemidiaphragm ( Fig. 1). Our diagnosis was congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation involving the en-

“…67 The rarest form, cystic adenomatoid malformation type III, has multiple microscopic cysts that result in a solid hyperechoic appearance on ultrasound. 8 This is analogous to the sonographic appearance of infantile polycystic kidneys. 9 Cystic adenomatoid malformation type III is characterized by a large intrathoracic mass that usually produces mediastinal shift.…”
