1. Emphysema: because of poor lung function, resulting in increased gas content in the alveoli due to increased residual gas in the lungs, small air sacs changes can be manifested.

2. Pulmonary pustules: due to congenital or acquired diseases, the alveoli fuse with each other and form cystic pustules, if small, usually do not affect the respiratory function of the lungs.
