Specializes in Family Medicine

Unlikely: Atelecasis is a common finding. Your lungs get atelectatic simply not taking a deep breath. People get atelectasis commonly after surgery when they have been laying down . Usually resolves with deep breaths. Calicified right hilar lymphnode should be followed with xray.
