A congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM) is a lesion, or mass of lung tissue, inside one lung of an unborn baby. This lesion or mass takes up valuable space in your baby’s lungs and can cause issues with their heart and lungs. It is a rare condition, affecting approximately 1 out of every 1,500 to 4,000 babies.
