    A lung mass is an abnormal growth or lesion in the lung that can be benign or malignant. There are two main types of lung cancer - small cell lung cancer which has a poor prognosis, and non-small cell lung cancer which can cause peripheral or central masses depending on whether it is adenocarcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma respectively. The most common type of lung cancer in India is squamous cell carcinoma. Risk factors for developing a lung mass include smoking, indoor/outdoor pollution, having COPD, metastasis from other cancers, and occupations exposed to asbestos.

    (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous).

    TYPES

    1. Small cell lung cancer-has poor prognosis


    2. Non-small cell lung cancer-
    ● Adeno Cell carcinoma-causes peripheral lung mass
    ● Squamous Cell carcinoma-usually cause central lung mass

    In India , squamous cell carcinoma is the most common carcinoma in both males and
    females.

    RISK FACTORS:-

    1. SMOKING- can be seen in both active or passive smokers

    2. INDOOR/OUTDOOR POLLUTION

    3. COPD patients- are more prone to develop lung mass

    4. METASTASIS - Carcinoma of prostate, ovary, lymphoma can cause metastatic lung


    cancer
