Your sister will probably be referred to a
specialist for counseling. They'll be able
to explain her child's condition in a way
she can
understand.
Gah, that first link did me no good. I
looked at it five time and it still makes
no sense.

There are a few conditions causing cystic
lesions in the lungs of a fetus which are
all very complicated. In short if the
cysts are multiple and tiny, there is a
poorer prognosis especially when
accompanied by hyrops (excessive water in
the fetus) or other fetal anomalies. Some
conditions with lungs cysts are generally
harmless.
Here are some of the conditions which you
could look up more information on:
Congenital High Airway Obstruction
(CHAOS)
Congenital Cystic Adenomatoid Malformation
of the Lung (CAML or CCAML)
Bronchopulmonary Sequestration
Hope this helps
If you have further questions dont
hesitate to ask.
