middle lobe syndrome

atelectasis" >lobar atelectasis in the right middle lobe of the lung, with chronic pneumonitis; called also Brock syndrome.

mid·dle lobe syn·drome

atelectasis with chronic pneumonitis of the middle lobe of the (right) lung, due to compression of the middle lobe bronchus, usually by enlarged lymph nodes, which may be tuberculous; chief symptoms are chronic cough, wheezing, recurrent respiratory infections, hemoptysis, chest pain, malaise, easy fatigability, and loss of weight; sometimes confused with interlobar accumulation of fluid in the lateral x-ray view. Synonym(s): Brock syndrome

middle lobe syndrome

A condition characterised by chronic atelectasis and collapse of the middle lobe and/or lingula of the right lung due to extrinsic compression of the right middle bronchus.
Aetiology
Thymoma, hilar lymphadenopathy (e.g., TB, sarcoidosis or lymphoma), tumours or obstruction (due to intraluminal tumours or foreign bodies). Compression results in chronic pneumonitis, bronchial obstruction, bronchiectasis and decreased lung capacity. Primary disease findings include calcified hilar lymph nodes, granulomas and erosion into the bronchopulmonary apparatus.
