A member asked:
My father is 65, never smoked, no asbestos. has a mass in the lungs, severe joint pain and stiffness, history of gout. what is most likely diagnosis?

My best to: Your father, first. It is not easy to tell with the limited information. If the mass is capable of being biopsied either via bronchoscopy or percutaneously that would provide accurate diagnosis. While malignancy is certainly the fear that looms large it is not certain without a tissue diagnosis.
