Are polyps in lungs a sign of cancer

Unusual: There usually are not true polyps in the lung but rather nodules which are round soft tissue masses that can be both benign and malignant. The size, character, and growth of nodules help doctors determine which ones need to be biopsies or removed.

High potential: They are in bronchial divisions, premalignent need trasbronchial biopsy, possible removal, some times need segmental resection of lung.
