A member asked:

C.t chest: a 5.5 x 6.2 x 3.7 cm soft tissue mass is notice in the apical segment of lower lobe. kindly inform me it could be benign or malegnent.?

See your doctor: It could be either. There are characteristic of masses that guide the radiologist one way or the other. I would imagine that your doctor will recommend a biopsy and other tests to help decide what this is.
