| Abstract: | Advancements in fetal diagnostic imaging have increased prenatal diagnosis of many fetal anomalies. The purpose of this chapter is to review the etiology and natural history of prenatally diagnosed cystic lung lesions, including congenital cystic adenomatoid malformations (CCAM), pulmonary sequestrations (PSs), hybrid lesions, and bronchogenic cysts, and then discuss current concepts in the management and outcome of these lesions.
