| When the lesions are rubbed, they manifest erythema, edema, pruritus, and occasional bullae formation. |
| Chest computed tomography showed giant lung bullae and severe upper lobe emphysema. |
| Eighty-eight percent of the blebs or bullae identified intraoperatively were demonstrated on preoperative CT scans. |

| Data recorded for all patients included the number of episodes of pneumothorax, the operative time, and the presence of blebs or bullae. |
