Drs. Neilmegh Varada, Matthew Warren, and Kush Modi (Internal Medicine) recently presented a case report in the American Thoracic Society virtual meeting 2020.
Their case entitled “Unilateral Pulmonary Fibrosis Following Lobectomy” described an unusual presentation of unilateral pulmonary fibrosis as a sequela of lobectomy. The authors concluded that caution should be advised when undergoing the lobectomy due to this uncommon risk of developing further fibrosis to the lung.
