Cavities in the lungs are abnormal cavities found in the lungs during imaging examinations, which may be caused by tuberculosis, lung cancer, lung abscess and other reasons.
1. Tuberculosis: Tuberculosis is an important reason for the formation of lung cavities. The untreated tuberculosis infection destroys the lung tissues, which can lead to the formation of cavities.
2. Lung cancer: primary lung cancer or metastatic lung cancer may also form lung cavity if the tumor grows faster.
3. Lung abscess: the development of lung abscess may lead to necrosis of lung tissue, thus forming cavities.
The causes of lung cavities are very diverse and complex, and individuals need to go through comprehensive examinations to make a clear diagnosis and find the primary disease for treatment.
