A member asked:

Husband had bad pneuominia. first they wre worried it was cancer now leaning more towards. infection. is this possible?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Sometimes an infection can be mistaken for a malignancy and vice versa. However, if a malignancy was considered, close follow up is warranted. If an area does not resolve , then a biopsy may be needed. Hope this helps.
