A member asked:
What does pleuroparenchymal fibrosis, posterobasal segment of the lower lobe ang lingula means? it is shown in the ct scan result?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It means there is scarring probably from previous inflammation in certain areas of your lungs involving also the covering of the lungs. The lingula and the posteriobasal are just a way of indicating where the scarring was found. It is not likely to be what is causing your problem now.
