Which Specialist Doctor Should Be Consulted For A Cyst In The Lungs?

about 8 months ago I had an image made by my cardiologist for routine follow up, the radiologist spotted a cyst on the left lung. What is the recommended clinician or specialist to have this worked up to determine what it is? I understand that the first step would be to repeat the imaging to see if it is gone or has gotten bigger.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

There are many reasons for the cyst in lungs as pneumonia, cystic lung disease or others.

I recommend to undertake a repeat CT scan and consult with both reports.

Wish you fine health.
