Post covid fibrosis and lung mass
My 67 year old mother had serious covid pneumonia and later developed post covid lung fibrosis in her right lung.. all doctors said that nothing had to be done about it as she had no symptoms or difficulty.. just a dry cough.. so we were living in peace..
Now One year later in a routine ct scan, she has lung mass of 3 cm and lung nodules max 9mm in her right lungs.. Did this happen because of her post covid fibrosis?? Please I need to know 🙏

As per the brief history you provided, post covid lung fibrosis is risk factor for any new infection or bronchiectasis, malignancy. The new lung mass may or may not be related to post covid fibrosis. Now the aim is to further evaluate the lung mass depending on her symptoms and clinical examination findings at present.
Next Steps
Please Consultant a pulmonologist in person, so that clinical examination and appropriate investigations can be done.
