ABSTRACT
Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM) of the lung is a rare condition with the potential for malignant transformation. Several cases that presented with malignant changes have been reported worldwide. However, no report about a malignant transformation case in a CCAM in Korea has been published.

A biopsy specimen from the resected cystic lesion showed foci of adenocarcinoma.
