Abstract:	Background The natural history of patients with antenatally diagnosed congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation of the lung (CCAM) is still fully unknown. In symptomatic patients with respiratory distress, an operation is performed during the neonatal period. However, in asymptomatic patients, the optimal timing of the operation remains controversial. During the period from 1977 to 2007, we experienced 14 CCAM patients diagnosed antenatally. Therefore, we investigated the outcome of antenatally diagnosed CCAM patients to clarify the optimal treatment for such patients.
