Specialty	Oncology Pulmonology
Symptoms	Coughing (including coughing up blood), weight loss, shortness of breath, chest pains[1]

• Bronchial leiomyoma, a rare, benign tumor
• Lung cancer, the term commonly used to refer to carcinoma of the lung
• Pulmonary carcinoid tumor
• Pleuropulmonary blastoma
• Neuroendocrine tumors of the lung[2]
• Lymphomas of the lung.[3]
