A fatal case of congenital pulmonary airway malformation with aspergillosis in an adult

Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation, currently referred as congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM), is one of the rare lung malformations seen in adults. We report a case of a 59-year-old male with a chronic cough and hemoptysis that was not amenable to bronchial embolization. Further...

Sumario:Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation, currently referred as congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM), is one of the rare lung malformations seen in adults. We report a case of a 59-year-old male with a chronic cough and hemoptysis that was not amenable to bronchial embolization. Further work up revealed cystic changes with fungal ball and type 1 CPAM. Patients with this condition who survive to adulthood usually suffer from recurrent respiratory bacterial infections. Only three cases of fungal involvement have ever been described. We present a fatal case, as well as the oldest patient.
