The severity of occupying lesions in the lower lobe of the left lung depends on the nature of the occupation. Benign occupations are usually less serious, such as tuberculomas and benign tumors. Malignant occupations are usually more dangerous, such as lung cancer and lung metastases.
1. Tuberculoma: Tuberculoma is an isolated lesion with clear boundary formed by caseous necrosis of tuberculosis lesion wrapped by surrounding proliferating fibrous tissues, usually in quiescent stage and not infectious, usually in mild condition, and no special treatment is needed.
2. Benign tumors: such as fibromas, lipomas, hemangiomas, etc., which are relatively rare in clinic, but the condition is usually not serious, and will not recur after surgical resection.
3. Primary lung cancer: primary lung cancer is a relatively dangerous malignant tumor, especially small cell lung cancer with very high degree of malignancy, and most of the patients have only about 1 year of survival after diagnosis. Squamous carcinoma and adenocarcinoma also depend on the metastatic situation. If lymph node or distant organ metastasis occurs, the survival period will be greatly shortened.
4. Lung metastases: malignant tumors in other parts can be transferred to lungs to form occupying lesions, and lung metastases indicate that the patient is already in the advanced stage of the tumor, which is serious and dangerous, and it is very difficult to treat the disease, so the patient can only inhibit the growth of the tumor as much as possible to prolong the survival period.
It is recommended to go to the hospital as soon as possible to clarify the nature of the occupying lesion, and then treat it accordingly under the guidance of professional doctors.
