Brief Answer:
It is most likely healed lesion.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on HealthcareMagic.
I can understand your concern.

Since you had pneumonia, the possibility of healed lesion is more likely.
So this cyst is mostly a healed tissue from previous pneumonia.

But it's better to get done a repeat CT scan after 8-10 months. If lesion remains same or decreasing then no need to worry.

But if the lesion is increasing then you will need further investigations.
At present, no need to worry.
Please get done repeat CT scan after 8-10 months.

Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further.

Wish you good health.
Thanks.
