Congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM), formerly known as congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM), is a congenital disorder of the lung similar to bronchopulmonary sequestration. In CPAM, usually an entire lobe of lung is replaced by a non-working cystic piece of abnormal lung tissue.
CCAM codes are structured in a tree whose top-level comprises 19 chapters, organized mainly by large anatomical structure or function: 01. central nervous system, device and independent; 02. eye and notes; 03. ear; 04. circulatory; 05. immune system and hematopoietic; 06. respiratory; 07. digestive; 08. urinary and genital

This leads to infants having pockets of air and cystic masses in their lungs.
It was slightly higher in the surgery group, at 5.9%, compared to the non-surgery group, at 4.2%. This may be due to “upstaging,” Partridge said, when more advanced cancer is identified during ...
