Spontaneous regression of pulmonary bullae

Australas Radiol. 2002 Mar;46(1):106-7. doi: 10.1046/j.1440-1673.2001.01005.x.

Abstract

The natural history of pulmonary bullae is often characterized by gradual, progressive enlargement. Spontaneous regression of bullae is, however, very rare. We report a case in which complete resolution of pulmonary bullae in the left upper lung occurred spontaneously.
