A 62 year old smoker presents with RML collapse. A bronchoscopy is negative to endobronchial lesion. Cytology and micro are negative. She is treated for pneumonia and released. A few months later the CXR is essentially normalized excepts for some left over streaking.
Would you do anything else or not?

I think with resolution of the collapse and negative bronch I would just watch with a repeat CxR soon.
I elected to repeat the CXR in 6 months.
If the collapse is resolved, no endobronchial lesions, etc. I think that's fine.
