Abstract
Bronchopulmonary malformations associated with esophageal atresia (EA) and tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) are extremely rare. The authors describe a case-of type II congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM) of the ri ght lower lobe associated with EA and TEF(Vogt-Gross type C) in a full-term female infant. The CCAM presented as an incidental radiologic finding, and a contralateral tension pneumothorax developed shortly after surgical repa ir of the EA. Early recognition of this rare association is essential for c orrect operative management.
