We report a case of a 66-year-old woman with congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM) that presented as a thin walled cyst on radiological imaging and mimicked lung cancer. The right pulmonary wedge resection was performed via thoracoscopic surgery. Pathologic results proved CCAM which though, uncommon may be misdiagnosed in adults.
