When my 6mm lung nodule was found on ct, slight "alvelitis" was found on the right upper lobe. what is alvelitis?

Alveolitis: This is inflammation of the Alveoli,...the pulmonary (lung) alveoli are the terminal ends of the respiratory tree, which outcrop from either alveolar sacs or alveolar ducts, and which are both sites of gas exchange with the blood as well.
