Scar cancer of the lung.
A case of scar carcinoma developing over lung abscess scar is presented. When the lung scars begin to increase in size and the patient does not respond to the treatment which was effective earlier, the possibility of malignant change in the scar tissue should be considered rather than the recurrence of the previous illness.
