Dr. Li Jingli
Pulmonary fibroma is a lung condition characterized by excessive proliferation of fibrous tissue following damage to lung tissue, leading to structural changes in the lungs. It is usually caused by various factors such as lung inflammation, infections, trauma, or long-term exposure to harmful substances. Main symptoms of pulmonary fibroma include cough, shortness of breath, chest pain, and fatigue. In severe cases, complications such as impaired lung function and pulmonary hypertension may occur.
