There are various causes of lung infiltration. Certain lung ailments such as silicosis, pneumonia, cystic fibrosis and asbestosis often cause the air sacs to be filled with fluids made of cancer cells, white blood cells, pus, blood or proteins which are called as infiltrates.
Summary: Right middle lobe (RML) syndrome is defined as recurrent or chronic obstruction or infection of the middle lobe of the right lung. Nonobstructive causes of middle lobe syndrome include inflammatory processes and defects in the bronchial anatomy and collateral ventilation. Then, can lung infiltrates be cancer?

Solitary nodule of lung. Clinical Information. A lung lesion that appears as a round coin-shaped shadow in the chest radiographs. A single lung lesion that is characterized by a small round mass of tissue, usually less than 1 cm in diameter, and can be detected by chest radiography.
Interstitial lung disease, drug induced. Interstitial pneumonia. Clinical Information. A diverse group of lung diseases that affect the lung parenchyma. They are characterized by an initial inflammation of pulmonary alveoli that extends to the interstitium and beyond leading to diffuse pulmonary fibrosis.
Interstitial lung disease is the name for a large group of diseases that inflame or scar the lungs. The inflammation and scarring make it hard to get enough oxygen. The scarring is called pulmonary fibrosis.breathing in dust or other particles in the air are responsible for some types of interstitial lung diseases.

When an Excludes2 note appears under a code it is acceptable to use both the code and the excluded code together.

The sequencing depends on the circumstances of the encounter.
