Benign lesions: CT examination of lungs of patients with pneumonia or tuberculosis can find nodular dense shadow in the upper lobe of lungs. If there is no change for a long time or the change is slow, mainly due to local inflammation stimulation, the patient can follow the doctor’s instructions according to the specific condition, the type of pneumonia to use penicillin, prednisone and other drugs to infuse treatment, or injection of gammaglobulin to improve the symptoms. If it is caused by tuberculosis, patients can take oral anti-tuberculosis drugs, such as isoniazid, ethambutol and so on, as recommended by the doctor. If the disease is serious, chemotherapy, surgery and other methods can also be chosen. 2. Malignant lesions: mostly seen in lung cancer, which is a primary malignant tumor of the lungs.
