@chrapp, @katrinknoflach, @mgriese This seems to be a bronchial finding, e.g., see Figure 1 here https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4386010/ Would it be better to have this be the parent term? https://hpo.jax.org/app/browse/term/HP:0025426

Anthracosis can be in the airways and the alveoli, as well as all tissue components which are drained from there. I would prefer this definition: def: Anthracosis is the deposition of black carbon pigment. It is commonly seen in perihilar lymph nodes as well as within lung parenchyma. There can be prominent storiforming of histiocytes, to such an extent as to mimic a neoplastic lesion histologically. It is a common finding in smokers and polluted city dwellers. PMCID: PMC7262960

Abnormal lung morph is appropriate parent term

Adding the term as suggested. I added an explanation of storiforming, which is as word I was not familiar with: Anthracosis is the deposition of black carbon pigment. It is commonly seen in perihilar lymph nodes as well as within lung parenchyma. There can be prominent storiforming (i.e., spiral patterning) of histiocytes, to such an extent as to mimic a neoplastic lesion histologically. Anthracosis is a common finding in smokers and polluted city dwellers.
