Overview
Lung mass (also known as "Pulmonary mass") is defined as any area of pulmonary opacification that measures more than 30 mm (3 cms) in the lung. Lung mass are abnormal growths found in the lung which can be either be benign or malignant. The most common cause of a pulmonary mass is lung cancer. Other causes of lung mass include granuloma, lipoma, tuberculosis, and aspergillosis.
Classification
Lung mass may be classified on the basis of histopathology into benign lung mass and malignant lung mass. In addition, lung mass can be sub-classified according to the location, imaging features, size, and distribution.
| Lung mass | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Location | Histology | Imaging Features | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| •Pleural •Endobronchial •Parenchymal | •Malignant mass •Benign mass | •Hyperdense pulmonary mass •Cavitating pulmonary mass | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Causes
The common causes of lung mass include:[1][2][3][4][5]
- Lung cancer
- Hamartomas
- Hodgkin's lymphoma
- Pleural malignant mesothelioma
- Metastasis
- Fibroma
- Lymphoma
- Asbestos
- Lung abscess
- Lipomas

FIRE: Focused Initial Rapid Evaluation
A Focused Initial Rapid Evaluation (FIRE) should be performed to identify patients of lung mass
