Hello dear Greetings
Regarding history of cough and chest pain your biopsy report that showed a fibrocollagenous tissues granulomatous infiltrate with lymphocytes with negative ziehl neelsen stain I am suggesting strongly that you have developed a condition called sarcoidosis
In view of this please schedule an appointment with a pulmonologist specialist for further clinical assessment and adequate drug prescription
