In this study, we aim to investigate the imaging appearances of congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM) of the lung, and to enhance the understanding of this disease. A total of 11 cases with CCAM of the lung were confirmed by surgery and pathology. Preoperative chest computed tomography (CT) scan was performed in all patients, and high resolution CT scan was performed in lesion areas of 7 cases. Our results showed that there were 3 cases involving left and right lung, 5 cases involving right lung and 3 cases involving left lung. CT scan showed 6 cases with single or multiple air-filled cavities (> 2 cm in diameter) and 5 cases with multiple honeycomb-like cysts (< 1 cm in diameter). The cysts of CCAM contained air in 9 cases and a small amount of liquid in 2 cases. The complications of CCAM included different degree of emphysema in 7 patients, mediastinal hernia in 5 cases and congenital pulmonary sequestration in 1 case. All lesions have certain space-occupying effect. In conclusion, CT manifestation of CCAM of lung has certain characteristics and can provide reliable information for diagnosis of the disease.
