What is a lung stone exactly? Are they really not dangerous? (my doc said no worries) no info on the web.?

Question

I only ask because sometimes it hurts where they said it is. (they found out from an X-Ray when I had pleurisy.) I used to smoke but I quit last year.

Answer 1

I'm an x-ray tech and I've never heard of a lung stone. Ask your doctor for the correct term.

Answer 2

Nowhere can I find reference to a "lung stone". Not in Taber's medical dictionary, not online, not in any of my med/surg texts.
I have no idea what a lung stone is, or if such a thing even exists.
Not sure what your doctor meant by such a thing...but there should not be anything in the lungs but air. Anything else is abnormal.
