Emphysema Peri-scar

Peri-scar pulmonary emphysema is a rare disease that is characterized by the destruction of the alveoli as a result of injury to the lung tissue and subsequent scarring. This is most often associated with surgery on the lung, such as surgery to remove a tumor or remove the thyroid gland. Trauma can occur from foreign objects or from operations on surrounding tissue, such as pleural manipulation.

Emphysema of the peri-scar lung manifests itself in the form of shortness of breath with slight physical exertion, the release of sputum with blood streaks, the presence of weakness syndrome, increased fatigue, and is often diagnosed
