Lung
Definition:
(n.) An organ for aerial respiration; -- commonly in the plural.

(19) These findings suggest that aerosolization of ATP into the cystic fibrosis-affected bronchial tree might be hazardous in terms of enhancement of parenchymal damage, which would result from neutrophil elastase release, and in terms of impaired respiratory lung function.
(20) Lung metastases leading to death were observed in one patient with small-cell osteosarcoma despite complete destruction of the primary tumor by preoperative chemotherapy.
Pneumatocele
Definition:
(n.) A distention of the scrotum by air; also, hernia of the lungs.
Example Sentences:
(1) Computed tomography can clearly demonstrate the extent of the pneumatocele, and can show the maxillary pathology and the causative bony defect in the sinus.
(2) The pneumatoceles which appeared early in the course of the pneumonia resolved completely without complications.
(3) With respect to distribution of gas, 53% of patients presented pneumatocele, 38% of patients had pneumoencephalos, and 15% presented a laminar distribution of the gas.
(4) Radiological changes in the chest are prominent and include rapidly developing empyema, pneumonic consolidation, cavitation and pneumatocele formation.
(5) Two infants had pneumococcal pneumonia and bacteremia, complicated by pneumatocele formation.
