Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
A linear fibrosis in the lung is most likely due to a permanent change where there is scarring of the lung. Just like any scar on the skin, this linear fibrosis will not disappear. It can be due to an old infection. For purpose of job, you may request to hold a medical board and discuss your condition in details.
