Lung scars result from an injury to the lung. They have a wide variety of causes, and nothing can be done once lung tissue is scarred. However, lungs are resilient and can endure small noninvasive scars with no ill effects. Doctors usually don?t treat scars on the lungs that are stable. Removal isn?t necessary, even if the scar is growing. In this situation, your doctor will treat the underlying condition causing the scar and slow or stop its progression.
