What is a pulmonary inflammatory granuloma?

Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Li Jingli
Pulmonary inflammatory granuloma is a lesion caused by lung inflammation, primarily characterized by nodular lesions formed by infiltration and proliferation following infectious inflammation in the lungs. It may be triggered by various factors such as pathogenic microbial infections, abnormal immune function, or physical irritation, and often leads to symptoms including cough, recurrent fever, and difficulty breathing. Generally, pulmonary inflammatory granuloma is a benign condition, but it may still have some impact on lung function. Treatment options include conservative management, medication, and surgical intervention, depending on the severity of the condition.
