What Does The Meaning Of Neoplasm?

Female...smoked over 40 years ago(18-25)had cough last year.Dr.thought it was due to pollen,drainge etc. got prevental inhaler,zyrtec,and antibotics.CXR showed chronic changes. no previous study avail. ! year later still have cough but now seems very deep .Went to DR.got Medrol dose pak,z pack,symbicort. cough came back.got CXR...here is the impression. Given hx of pt s cough/shortness of breath,could represent peneumonia however could represent neoplasm. Going for CT of Chest next week. Since white area on CXR is cause for concern...breathing sounded clear. Does neoplasm mean I might have lung cancer??? I picked up my own report and xray also. I have no health insurance either. Am I going to die???

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern the Neoplasm is the growth of some abnormal new type of tissue and that could be division of cells most of the neoplasm are benign but some time this could turned into malignant, the detail study and histopathological examination would be necessary to know the nature of lesion, hope this information helps you, have nice day.
