Hi,
Definitely, these opacities may be due to numerous causes- infective, inflammatory or even cancerous growth. Hence, these should be tested for finding a definite cause and treatment accordingly, if indicated. In these cases, even a biopsy of the lesion may also be necessary to reach at a final diagnosis.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
