Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you should get done biopsy from that area first. This will help you in identifying the cause either infection or recurrence of malignancy.
In my opinion it is recurrence of previous lung cancer.
You can also get done PET scan as this is also helpful in detrmining recurrence of malignancy.
So better to consult oncologist first and discuss these things with him.
