DIAGNOSTIC DILEMMA OF PULMONARY MASSE

Abstract

The incidence of malignant disease ranges from 10 to 70% with an average of 40% [1] [2] [3]
[4]. As the progression of pulmonary malignancy is high, pulmonary lesions need to be
diagnosed early. Solitary pulmonary masses are readily misinterpreted radiologically due to
their morphological characteristics. However, many benign lesions can radiologically present
as malignant mass lesion.
