May need a biopsy: Obviously they're looking for either an infection or a tumor. You need to have a full of valuation including examination, and laboratory studies, chest x-ray, perhaps other imaging, and then they consider whether you need a biopsy or not. There's a lot more information that needs to be collected before you go to biopsy.
