Abstract

Congenital Pulmonary Airway Malformation (CPAM) is an uncommon condition in adults, which typically presents as acute fever and lung abscesses caused by bacterial infections. We present a case of a 39-year-old female with a CPAM in the upper lobe of the right lung, complicated by an aspergilloma, who presented with a history of hemoptysis. The patient underwent an upper lobectomy and is symptom-free in follow-up. 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
