extrapulmonary
Outside the lungs
Extrapulmonary means occurring or located outside the lungs.
The term appears almost exclusively in medical contexts, distinguishing conditions that affect other parts of the body from those confined to the respiratory system: extrapulmonary tuberculosis, extrapulmonary metastases.
The prefix extra- here means outside of, not additional.
