Question

I'm a bit worried about a recent HRCT report I got back. It mentions a large smooth-walled air-filled lesion that's replaced my right upper lobe, likely a bullae, with some compressive atelectatic changes in the adjacent lung. Can you help me understand what this means? Should I be concerned about this?
