What's the difference between gaseous and pneumatocele?
Gaseous
Definition:
(a.) In the form, or of the nature, of gas, or of an aeriform fluid.
(a.) Lacking substance or solidity; tenuous.

Pneumatocele
Definition:
(n.) A distention of the scrotum by air; also, hernia of the lungs.
Example Sentences:
