Sonographic detection of bilateral fetal chest masses: report of three cases.

Fetal chest masses are rare lesions that can be detected on prenatal sonography. This report of three cases of bilateral fetal chest masses (two bilateral congenital cystic adenomatoid malformations of the lung and one case of bilateral pulmonary sequestrations) serves to emphasize the occasional occurrence of bilateral masses and the variability in prognoses.
