Abstract

In general, a bulla of the lung is large, air contained sac and it is more than 1cm in diameter, and its wall is well defined and less than 2mm thick. The natural course of bulla of the lung is said to follow a pattern of progressive deterioration. It is a progressive disease, and spontaneous resolution of bulla is very unusual. In the world only two cases of spontaneous resolution of bulla have been reported. We experienced a case of bullous lung disease complicated from miliary tuberculosis in which the bulla was disappeared spontaneously following bulla infection.
