A member asked:
My doctor says i have "mild emphysematous blebs on upper right apex of the lung." what does this mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It means there: are small abnormal cystic air-filled spaces in the upper right lung. It is likely an incidental finding that has been there for years, and is of no clinical significance. However, it is possible that it is an early manifestation of a more progressive process, so speak to your doctor about the significance in your particular situation.
