Abstract
Congenital lung malformations are not infrequent. It is necessary to know their radiological manifestations in order to avoid diagnostic errors. We classify the congenital lung malformations into two main groups: Focal malformations and Dysmorphic lung. We review the radiological findings and the role of radiological techniques.
