Congenital pulmonary airway malformation type 2 associated with intralobar pulmonary sequestration in an adult patient: a case report

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM) and pulmonary sequestration (PS) are among the most common congenital lung malformations and their association is extremely rare. In exceptional cases, patients with CPAM remain asymptomatic until adulthood. We report the case of a 30-year-old man who was hospitalized in our pneumology department for fever, cough and chest pain. Radiological and histological findings confirmed the coexistence of CPAM and PS. The patient underwent surgical resection and recovered well. This is one of the few reported cases in the literature that describe the uncommon association of CPAM and PS with an infrequent diagnosis in adulthood. Clinicians should consider congenital malformations in the differential diagnosis of recurrent respiratory infections, particularly when they affect the same pulmonary lobe.
