Abstract
Spontaneous pneumothorax as the initial manifestation of cystic adenomatoid malformation of the lung is rare. Only four cases have been reported in the English literature. We add one more case, and review the clinical and roentgenographic findings. All the patients presented later in infancy or childhood and the cyst type appear to belong to Madewell's dominant cyst type.
