Definition:
Lung neoplasm is a condition in which the lung experiences excessive growth of new abnormal tissue. These tissues grow by cellular division and spread abnormally fast, continuing to grow long after the stimuli that initiated it has ceased. The growth may either be benign or malignant.
Diagnosis:
Diagnosis of a potential lung neoplasm is still unclear. Patients need to immediately undergo chest radiograph and seek medical opinion from a lung specialist.
