| pigment induration of the lung | A condition characterised by firmness of the lungs, and a brown colour associated with haemosiderin-pigmented macrophages in alveoli, consequent upon long-continued congestion due to heart disease. Synonym: pigment induration of the lung. (05 Mar 2000) |
| collier's lung | Pneumonoconiosis from accumulation of carbon from inhaled smoke or coal dust in the lungs. See: pneumomelanosis. Synonym: collier's lung, melanedema, miner's lung. Origin: anthraco-+ G. -osis, condition (05 Mar 2000) |
| welder's lung | Relatively benign form of pneumoconiosis, associated with welding, resulting from deposit of fine metallic particles in the lung. (05 Mar 2000) |

| mushroom-worker's lung | <chest medicine> Extrinsic allergic alveolitis caused by inhalation of spores of the mold Thermopolyspora polyspora, Thermoactinomyces vulgaris, Micropolyspora faeni or Micromonospora vulgaris from contaminated mushrooms under cultivation or mushroom compost. (22 Sep 2002) |
| costal surface of lung | The surface of each lung that lies in contact with the costal pleura. Synonym: facies costalis pulmonis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| postperfusion lung | <cardiology, chest medicine> A condition in which abnormal pulmonary function develops in patients who have undergone cardiac surgery involving the use of an extracorporeal circulation; now rare due to advances in perfusion technique and equipment. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cystic adenomatoid malformation of lung | <radiology> Only true pulmonary cystic disease of newborn, three X-ray types: multicystic, walls of varying thickness, multicystic, one large dominant thin-walled cyst, solid, mediastinal shift common, cysts often contain foetal lung fluid, Treatment: surgery Cf: congenital lobar emphysema (12 Dec 1998) |
| cystic adenomatoid malformation of lung, congenital | A developmental anomaly that usually becomes apparent in the neonatal period with progressive respiratory distress. This malformation is a focal pulmonary dysplasia characterised by a multicystic mass of terminal bronchiolar structures. Ccam is classified into 3 separate types (I, II, III) depending on cyst size.

| hilum of lung | A wedge-shaped depression on the mediastinal surface of each lung, where the bronchus, blood vessels, nerves, and lymphatics enter or leave the viscus. Synonym: hilum pulmonis, porta pulmonis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| secondary lung cancer | The spread of cancerous tumours from a distant organ to the lung. Due to the lungs tremendous blood and lymphatic supply it is a frequent site for metastatic cancer. Cancers which commonly metastasize to the lung include osteosarcoma, breast cancer, neuroblastoma, Wilm's tumour and non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. (27 Sep 1997) |
