case_images: A thoracic CT scan showed bullous pulmonary dysplasia (Figure 1).
case_images: Gross findings of the upper lobe at first (a) and second (b) surgical interventions. Emphysematous changes with marked bulla formation were present.

case_images: Gross findings showed severe emphysematous involvement in the upper lobe with marked bulla formation (Figure 2(a)). A thoracoscopic intervention on the atypical section of the upper right lobe was performed using a stapling device (Figure 2(b)), and new pieces of the TachoSil patch were applied.
case_images: Pulmonary specimen evaluation, after first (a) and second (b, c) surgical interventions; all specimens showed distal acinar emphysema.

case_images: Microscopic examination revealed a characteristic emphysema morphological pattern juxtaposed to normal lung parenchyma (Figure 3(a)). Microscopic findings shown in Figures 3(b) and 3(c) evidenced emphysematous changes.
