A bleb is due to the rupture of the wall of the alveolus, allowing air to escape into the alveolar layer of the pleura.

With a bulla, there is distention of the alveoli with atrophy, followed by rupture and the formation of an unusually large air filled cavity.

Blebs and bullae can be single, multiple, small or distended enough to occupy an entire hemithorax. Frequently bilateral and usually associated with a generalized pulmonary emphysema.

Note: The majority of emphysematous blebs are caused by cigarette smoking.

What does exclusion of pancreatic cancer mean?

When making a diagnosis in medicine, physicians often first make a list of possible conditions before deciding upon a final diagnosis. This list of possibilities is called a differential diagnosis. As the physician records a history of a patient, performs a physical exam, and reads laboratory tests, items can be added or removed from the differential diagnosis. When tests reveal sufficient evidence against a particular disease or condition, that condition can be removed, or excluded, from the differential diagnosis. So exclusion of pancreatic cancer means that tests and questions have been asked that have led to the conclusion that pancreatic cancer is no longer considered as a likely diagnosis.
