Alveolar capillary dysplasia, with and without misalignment of pulmonary veins: an association of congenital anomalies.

Two new cases of alveolar capillary dysplasia (ACD), one without misalignment of the pulmonary vessels (MLV), are reported. They are unique for their association with complex cardiac malformations and asplenia. By reporting these cases we want to stress that ACD is associated with multiple malformations, and that the absence of MLV does not rule out the diagnosis of ACD.
