Ectopic tissue in lung - what does this mean
Ectopic tissue in the lung is a condition in which tissue that normally resides in another area of the body is found in the lung. this can occur due to the presence of a congenital defect, a malignancy, or an infection, and may cause symptoms such as coughing, chest pain, and shortness of breath.
What happens during the disease - ectopic tissue in lung
Ectopic tissue in the lung is caused by abnormal migration of cells during development. this can occur due to genetic mutations, abnormal immune responses, or environmental triggers such as smoking or air pollution. these cells can then form a mass or tumor in the lung, leading to symptoms such as difficulty breathing, chest pain, and coughing up blood. treatment typically involves surgical removal of the ectopic tissue, but may also include chemotherapy or radiation therapy depending on the size and type of the mass.
