A member asked:
I had a ct done and it says "small focal area of pleural parenchymal fibrosis in mid posterior right chest"?

Likely benign: This could be from an old infection you had in the lung but it could also be due to other causes such as auto immune conditions. However, it's less likely to be anything serious. It's important for me to know why you had a CT in the first place. Overall, less likely to be anything serious based on what you have posted.
