Pleural parenchymal scarring is a type of scarring that occurs in the lining of the lungs. It can result from an injury to the lung or infections like tuberculosis or pneumonia. Often the infection or injury has healed but leaves behind some scar tissue. The term biapical indicates that the precise location of the scarring is at the upper tips of the lungs. Radiologists can see evidence of this type of scarring in MRI images and CT scans. While circumstances may indicate the need for further action, quite often doctors decide to simply monitor the condition for possible changes.
