Scar of the lung
Lung scarring usually occurs as a result of lung tissue inflammation. This scarring reduces the elasticity of the lung tissue. A small amount of scarring (commonly seen in patients with prior pneumonia) will have little effect on lung function, but a large amount of scarring can make oxygen transfer difficult, leading to shortness of breath and lack of oxygen to the body.
