What are the possible causes of burrs in the lungs?

The lungs can be regarded as the organ in the human body that is most vulnerable to damage because they are required in the process of breathing. If a person stays in a dusty environment for a long time, it may cause pneumoconiosis. There are also many people with impaired lung function, and some people have even been found to have burrs in their lungs. The following explains the possibility of burrs in the lungs.

The presence of spicules in the lungs is an imaging finding, especially the lobulated spicule sign with unclear boundaries, which should alert people to the possibility of malignant tumors. If the lesion is close to the hilum of the lung, it is of the central type, and lung tissue should be obtained under bronchoscopy for pathological examination in time to clarify the nature of the lesion; if the lesion is located around the lung, it is of the peripheral type, and percutaneous lung biopsy should be performed to clarify the nature of the lesion. Clinically, once spiculation signs appear in the lungs, one should go to the hospital promptly for a clear diagnosis and symptomatic treatment.

The presence of burrs in the lungs indicates fibrosis of the lung tissue, which may be caused by an inflammatory response in the lungs. Common diseases include pneumonia, tuberculosis, lung cysts, etc. In addition, the presence of nodules and tumors in the lungs can also cause burrs in the lungs. Patients are advised to undergo a detailed examination for diagnosis and treatment.

A cavitary and spiculated posterior wall is most likely seen in lung cancer. There is a high possibility of cancerous cavities. Considering the age of your family, lung cancer is more likely. It needs to be differentiated from tuberculosis. You can check tuberculosis antibodies, OT tests, etc.

When such symptoms appear, a lung CT scan should be performed immediately to see if it is due to a tumor problem. Lung cancer can cause chest and back pain, but symptoms caused by heart reasons cannot be ruled out. Biopsy, sputum exfoliated cell examination, fiberoptic bronchoscopy, MRI and X-ray examinations can be performed.

In addition, if the patient has a long-term smoking habit, the possibility of cancer will be greater. And from a personal perspective, if coughing, coughing up blood, etc. occur frequently, the possibility of lung cancer will increase. However, this cannot completely diagnose the presence of cancer. Further examination and confirmation are needed.

In addition, if it is really lung cancer, then this symptom is mostly in the early or middle stages of lung cancer. Discovering it at this time will buy more time for treatment. The treatment plan can be determined after a detailed examination by the doctor, such as surgical treatment. As a patient, you must also cooperate with the doctor to actively receive treatment and recover your body.
