A peculiar cystic and chondrolipomatous malformation affecting the right upper lobe of the lung as presented in a 10‐year‐old girl with a history of recurrent pneumonia and pneumothorax is reported. The lesion combined bronchial‐type cavities with intervening stroma containing adipose tissue, with cartilage nodules of different sizes. The findings do not fit with any already‐known malformations of the lung. Pediatr Pulmonol. © 2004 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
