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 right 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 repair of the EA. Early recognition of this rare association is essential for correct operative management.
