Proposed algorithm for the assessment and follow-up of congenital thoracic malformations (CTM) detected either in the antenatal or postnatal period. ^aPostnatal detection may be suggestive of pleuropulmonary blastoma as well. ^bA Computed Tomography (CT) should be performed to detect a possible lesion at age 1–6 months in all asymptomatic cases, whatever is the chest X-ray finding (positive or negative) at birth. ^cEmbolization considered only in asymptomatic cases without evidence of cysts.
