What Is a Lung Nodule?
6. Tumors
Tumors are not uncommon, and many of us will develop at least one type of tumor in our life time. The good news is that the vast majority of tumors are harmless to us, but this is not always the case. They can develop pretty much anywhere on our body, and they will sometimes be found on our lungs.
Lung tumors are just like other types of tumor in that they can be benign or malignant. Examples of benign lung tumors include blastomas, hemangiomas, and fibromas, and bronchial adenomas. Examples of malignant lung tumors include lymphomas, sarcomas, carcinoid tumors, and lung cancer.
