Deskripsi

We present a clinical case of congenital adenomatoid malformation associated with a pneumonitic process of tubercular character operated successfully by means of right lower lobectomy. Congenital adenomatoid malformations generally are as-ymptomatic detected accidentally on skiagrams done for some other purpose, or may present as compressive phenomena affecting the surrounding structures, or sometimes by secondary infection due to supervening bacterial, mycotic or as in our case tubercular infection. Similar presentation of congenital adenomatoid mal-formations secondarily infected with tuberculosis is very rare.
