Abstract
In this report we document the first observation of highly elevated alpha fetoprotein (AFP) levels in the amniotic fluid of a 23-week gestation male fetus with cystic adenomatoid lung malformation (CCAML) Type III and caudal regression. The increase of AFP levels may be related to the presence of tumor-like lung masses of embryonic origin.Keywords
