Hello
With one or two rare exceptions , all pulmonary mass ( tumor 0 arise from some part of the bronchial tree.
Two type of tumor or mass may be .
1 BENIGN ===adenoma
====hemartoma ( fribroma , chondroma , lipoma ,angioma ) .
2 Malignant
Primary carcinoma (common)
alveolar cell carcinoma ( rare)
sarcoma ( rare).
Secondary from any part of the body other than lungs like bowel , breat thyroid etc.
My aim was to explain you that all tumors are not cancer rather may be a BENIGN mass .
So biopsy will find out the exact nature of type of tumor.
Hope this will help you.
