A case of congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation of the lung diagnosed during pregnancy with, echography in a foetus 19.4 weeks old is reported. The ACP is to be included among the most rare malformations, but even rarer is the prenatal diagnosis. It must to be noted that the previous child of the same couple was also found to be affected by a malformation of the lungs. Through a genetic study of the family it was discovered that both children and the father were carriers of the same morphological chromosomic variation. The authors report the case.
