A rare case of congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation: Mimics pneumonia manifestations.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction and importance

Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM) is a rare malformation, with unknown causes, that affects distal bronchi. It accounts for 25% of congenital pulmonary malformation s and most cases are found in neonates and babies.The mortality rate of prenatally diagnosed cases ranges from 9 to 49%. The risk factors for poor outcome include hydropsfoetalis, microcystic CCAM and the overall size of the lesions.The mainstay of CCAM treatment is surgical excision that prevents complications such as recurrent infections, pneumothorax and malignancy.

Case presentation

Our case is a 4-month-old boy born presented with shortness of breath and poor suckling. He was admitted to intensive care for respiratory distress.

Clinical discussion

A working diagnosis of pneumonia was entertained and the patient given humidified oxygen through nasal prongs, intravenous fluids and antibiotics.Thoracic CT showed a cystic malformation in the left lower lung lobe.Due to continuing recurrent infections and the risk of rupturing of the cyst with subsequent pneumothorax, it was decided to proceed with a left lower lobectomy.The post-operative course was uneventful and the patient was discharged home on the fifth post-operative day.

Conclusion

Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation should be a differential diagnosis of pneumonia.A real awareness of this rare entity among pediatricians and radiologists should allow early diagnosis and proper treatment.

Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation - dangers of misdiagnosis: a case report.

Project description:Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation is a rare pulmonary malformation, but is the most common lung malformation observed in children. In developing countries, such as Morocco, prenatal diagnosis is missing. Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation may occur after birth in the presence of complications and needs a computed tomography scan for confirmation. However, our lack of awareness of this malformation has been responsible for a late and wrong diagnosis along with therapeutic errors. We report the first case in Morocco where diagnosis is confirmed by histology after death.A 10-month-old Arab boy was prescribed various antibiotics (including anti-staphylococcal) and endured repeated chest drainages, leading to his death just after radiological diagnosis and instant surgery.The goal of this case report is to firmly express the need for both pediatricians and radiologists to enlarge diagnosis investigations, especially of congenital or constitutional entities in children, as soon as recurrence of respiratory distress and pulmonary infections are manifested. We also emphasize this important entity because of its frequency, to avoid the eventual therapeutic errors.

Obstructive shock in pediatric patient with congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation: A case report.

Project description:Introductionand importance: Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM) is a rare cystic lesion in the lungs. CCAM might present in the early neonatal period with symptoms of respiratory distress.Case presentationA 2-year-old girl was admitted to our Pediatric Intensive Care Unit with signs of severe respiratory distress. She had been diagnosed with CCAM since she was three months old. She also had undergone several procedures such as thoracotomy and decortication since then, but she still suffered some episodes of pulmonary infection. In this admission, her computerized thoracic tomography revealed a pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB).Clinical discussionAn obstruction of blood outflow from the left ventricle could happen when an intrathoracic mass exists, leading to a decrease of cardiac output and resulting in an obstructive shock, which could be fatal. One of the malignancy types commonly occurring is pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB), which has a poor prognosis. Early detection on CCAM can be done by prenatal ultrasound.ConclusionObstructive shock is one of complication that might occur in pleuropulmonary blastoma.

Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation in adults: Report of a case presenting with a recurrent pneumothorax and a literature review of 60 cases.

Project description:Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM) is a congenital pulmonary cystic disease that is mostly detected and diagnosed prenatally or during the neonatal period, while rarely being observed in adults. Here, we report an adult case of CCAM that was diagnosed following surgery for a recurrent pneumothorax. We further review 60 case reports on adult CCAM that have been previously published. The patient was a 29-year-old woman with a severe left pneumothorax. Her computed tomography scan showed the presence of multiple pulmonary cysts at the base of the left lower lobe. Since she had experienced a left pneumothorax twice previously, surgery was indicated. A wedge lung resection of the pulmonary cysts was performed thoracoscopically. The postoperative pathological diagnosis was type I CCAM. From the review, 7 adult CCAM patients (11.7%) out of 61, including the patient in the present case, presented with pneumothorax, while 21 patients (35%) presented with infection. Thirty-nine foci of CCAM (65%) were located in lower lobes. Moreover, malignancies were associated in 8 cases (13.3%). We propose that if multicystic lung lesions are found in pneumothorax patients, particularly in lower lobes, CCAM should be considered during the differential diagnosis, even in adults.

Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformations of the lung: an epithelial transcriptomic approach.

Project description:BACKGROUND:The pathophysiology of congenital cystic adenomatoid malformations (CCAM) of the lung remains poorly understood. AIM:This study aimed to identify more precisely the molecular mechanisms limited to a compartment of lung tissue, through a transcriptomic analysis of the epithelium of macrocystic forms. METHODS:Tissue fragments displaying CCAM were obtained during planned surgical resections. Epithelial mRNA was obtained from cystic and normal areas after laser capture microdissection (LCM). Transcriptomic analyses were performed and the results were confirmed by RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry in independent samples. RESULTS:After controlling for RNA quality, we analysed the transcriptomes of six cystic areas and five control areas. In total, 393 transcripts were differentially expressed in the epithelium, between CCAM and control areas. The most highly redundant genes involved in biological functions and signalling pathways differentially expressed between CCAM and control epithelium included TGFB2, TGFBR1, and MAP 2?K1. These genes were considered particularly relevant as they have been implicated in branching morphogenesis. RT-qPCR analysis confirmed in independent samples that TGFBR1 was more strongly expressed in CCAM than in control tissues (p?<?0.03). Immunohistochemistry analysis showed TGFBR1 (p?=?0.0007) and TGFB2 (p?<?0.02) levels to be significantly higher in the epithelium of CCAM than in that of control tissues. CONCLUSIONS:This compartmentalised transcriptomic analysis of the epithelium of macrocystic lung malformations identified a dysregulation of TGFB signalling at the mRNA and protein levels, suggesting a possible role of this pathway in CCAM pathogenesis.

Congenital Prepubic Sinus with Remnant Tissue Mimics Corpus Spongiosum: A Rare Case.

Project description:A congenital prepubic sinus is a tract that originates in the skin and overlays the base of the penis; however, its embryologic basis is still debated. We herein present a case involving a 3-year-old boy who was admitted for examination of overlying tissue located a few centimeters distal to the dorsal base of the penis. Examination revealed a tiny sinus in the prepubic area, and 3 cm of tissue was attached to the sinus. Pathologic examination showed that the tissue was lined with squamous epithelium and continued along the sinus tract, which was lined with urothelial epithelium. According to Stephens' classification, the sinus appeared to be a variant of type 2 dorsal urethral duplication, and the remnant tissue mimicked the corpus spongiosum of the penis.

A Rare Complex Case of Congenital Umbilical Arteriovenous Malformation and Review of Literature.

Project description:Introduction Congenital umbilical arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are extremely rare. We present the first case of congenital umbilical AVM with feeding arteries originating not only from abdominal but also from the mammary arteries. Case Report A 34-week gestational age newborn was transferred to our hospital with a supraumbilical murmur. Abdominal Doppler ultrasound (US) showed a large vascular AVM, with multiple feeding arteries and several venous drainage structures to the umbilical vein and also a persistent ductus venosus. She developed signs of heart failure on the 12th day of life. Computed tomography angiogram revealed an umbilical congenital AVM with feeding arteries originating from the external iliac, hypogastric, epigastric, and mammary arteries and a dilated umbilical vein draining the cluster. Also, a patent ductus venosus was observed. At 14 days of life, laparotomy was performed but due to the complexity of the feeding arteries of the AVM, complete exeresis was not performed, but only ligation of these arteries was made, to reduce the surgical risk. Conclusion To our knowledge, this is the first time that no complete excision was made but only ligation of the arteries. The infant was discharged home on postoperative day 14 being asymptomatic. Follow-up Doppler US showed thrombosed vascular structures.

Apert Syndrome: Report of a rare congenital malformation.

Project description:A rare case of an adult male with malformation of the skull, face, hands and feet called acrocephalosyndactly or Apert syndrome is presented. Its probable cause, features and treatment is discussed. It is a unique case who survived upto the age of 32 years without any operative intervention and adjusted in the society though he has all the stigmas of the above syndrome. We have concluded and made a point that in the adult sufferer, facial deformity is not so important and urgent for the treatment than syndactyly, which handicaps the sufferer in performing the daily routine work.

A Rare Association of Congenital Asplenia with Jejunal Arteriovenous Malformation.

Project description:BACKGROUND Isolated congenital asplenia is a poorly understood and rare form of primary immunodeficiency, often associated with life-threatening infections. CASE REPORT We encountered a unique case of a 22-year-old asplenic male who presented with severe iron-deficiency anemia secondary to occult gastrointestinal bleeding since age 15. Our extensive work-up confirmed jejunal arteriovenous malformations as the source of the bleed. Six months after the treatment, the patient has reported no further episodes of gastrointestinal bleeding and his hemoglobin has remained stable. CONCLUSIONS A comprehensive literature review confirmed that this is the first reported case of adult congenital asplenia associated with arteriovenous malformation in the United States. The relationship of isolated congenital asplenia and arteriovenous malformation-associated bleeding remains unknown at this time; we postulate that this may be a congenital syndrome on its own. Obscure bleeding in the presence of rare anomalies such as asplenia should be investigated as one of the important causes of unexplained intestinal arteriovenous malformations.

Skeletal manifestations of congenital syphilis: Rare but clinically relevant.

Project description:Congenital syphilis occurs as a result of maternal transmission of treponema pallidum in utero. This condition is mainly diagnosed by treponemal and non-treponemal serologic tests. However, both maternal nontreponemal and treponemal IgG antibodies can be transferred through the placenta to the fetus, thus complicating its interpretation soon after birth. We report a case of a neonate with congenital syphilis whose mother became infected after the first trimester of pregnancy. We report how skeletal radiographs expedite the clinical decision-making process and direct further management of neonates. This case also highlights the need for repeated syphilis screening in the latter part of pregnancy.
