A member asked:
Is it possible to have a nodule and not a tumor in the bronchi
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Definition: Actually, the terms nodule and tumor are essentially synonymous. If you're asking if a brochial mass (tumor, nodule, growth, neoplasm) can be benign and not a cancer, the answer is yes. I'm sure you're in capable hands now, and the appropriate investigation will be done. Good luck.
