The Cystic Adenomatous Malformation (CAM) is a rare fetal lung lesion. Its frequency is about 1 in 4000 births and is characterized by an overgrowth of terminal respiratory bronchioles that forms cysts of various sizes. It can be associated with polyhydramnios and pulmonary hypoplasia. We describe here a case of Adenoid Cystic Pulmonary Malformation type II with prenatal diagnosis at 20 weeks of gestational age, as well as its subsequent management. Morphological ultrasound describes multiple small cysts associated with a slight mediastinal deviation. The prognosis depends mainly on the associated injuries. Prenatal ultrasound allows early diagnosis and follow-up of CCAM to monitor the appearance of possible pathophysiological complications that may worsen its prognosis.
