Cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM) as one of the most common pulmonary congenital anomalies may cause respiratory distress during neonatal period. Lesions that appear large in early gestation may regress. We present a neonate with respiratory distress diagnosed to have CCAM whose cystic lung lesions regressed spontaneously with conservative treatment.
