AB Congenital  cystic  lung  disease  covers  a  spectrum  of  lung  malformations  that  include  congenital  cystic  adenomatoid  malformation  (CCAM;  which  is  also  defined  by  the  term  congenital  pulmonary  airway  malformation  or  CPAM),  bronchopulmonary  sequestration  (BPS),  congenital  lobar  emphysema  (CLE),  and  bronchogenic  cysts.  The  intricate  process  of  lung  development  begins  at  about  4  weeks’  gestation  and  consists  of  6  discrete  phases:  (1)  the  embryonic  stage  (4–7  weeks’  gestation);  (2)  the  pseudoglandular  stage  (5–17  weeks’  gestation);  (3)  the  canalicular  stage  (16-  to  26-weeks’  gestation);  (4)  the  saccular  stage  (24-  to  38-weeks’  gestation);  (5)  the  alveolar  stage  (36-weeks’  gestation  to  2  years  of  age);  and  (6)  microvascular  maturation  (birth  to  2–3  years  of  age).1
