Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg underwent a procedure to remove cancerous growths from her lung, the court announced Friday in a statement.
Doctors found no evidence of disease elsewhere in her body after the pulmonary lobectomy, and no further treatment is planned, the statement said.
Ginsburg, who is 85, was also hospitalized last month after she fractured several ribs in a fall. While she was being treated, doctors found two nodules in the lower lobe of her left lung, according to the court's statement.
"Justice Ginsburg is resting comfortably and is expected to remain in the hospital for a few days," the statement said.
This is a developing story.
