A member asked:
Recent ct report states:scattered reactive lymph nodes within the neck. biapical pleural parenchymal fibrosis at the lung apices is noted. please expl?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nothing worrisome: Reactive lymph nodes are lymph nodes that are prominent but not worrisome, presumably secondary to a recent infection. Fibrosis is scarring. On it's own, not a terrible thing. Slightly unusual for a 37 yr old though. May be from an old infection. However, if you smoke, this would be secondary to damage.
