range 1–10 cm in size, are thin-walled when distended and lined with a smooth membrane with vascular structures visible beneath the surface. Microscopically, the cysts are lined with ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium in polypoid folds with interspersed segments of mucogenic cells iny35% of cases (fig. 4). Fig. 2. Congenital pulmonary airway malformation type 0. a) Grossly, the lung is firm with a finely nodular surface, reflecting the presence of bronchial structures throughout the lesion. b) The lesion is composed of bronchovascular islands surrounded by loose fibrovascular connective tissue (haematoxylin and eosin stain).
