I have slightly reworded the definition
An elevation of the total count of alveoli as determined by microscopic point-counting of randomly taken lung sections, not secondary to abnormalities in number, size and structure of the airways. In polyaveolar lobe, the number of alveoli is generally increased three to fivefold.
please reopen this issue if the revised definition is incorrect. @chrapp, @kknoflach, @mgriese
Preferred term label: polyalveolar lobe
Synonyms Increased number of alveoli
