  5. I recently got an HRCT scan done for a surgery, and the report mentioned a small fibrotic patch in the middle lobe close to the oblique fissure. The rest of the HRCT of my chest is basically normal with no signs of viral pneumonia. But I'm pretty worried about this fibrotic patch. I dont have any bad habits or anything like that. Should I be concerned about this?
