Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM) is a rare developmental abnormality of lung occuring in 1-4/100000 live births. The mainstay of treatment is usually surgical excision as it can lead to recurrent pneumonias, abscess or malignancy. We here report a rare case of CCAM who presented at one year of age with right sided lung cysts and had favorable outcome as it resolved spontaneously.
