A rare case of congenital pulmonary airway malformation in a 14-year-old male presenting with spontaneous pneumothorax

CONCLUSION: We report this case to highlight the importance of considering CPAM and other congenital malformations as a differential diagnosis in the adult population, especially in patients with sudden onset of pulmonary symptoms along with multiple cystic-like lesions on CT, as well as to draw attention towards spontaneous pneumothorax as a possible first presentation for CPAM.PMID:34401146 | PMC:PMC8355833 | DOI:10.1016/j.amsu.2021.102692
