What does fluid on/in the lung mean? by winfrith49 Â» Fri Jan 13, 2012 5:46 pm. Fluid on the lungs cannot be a definite diagnosis for lung cancer...you'll have to have the fluid biopsied and tested...if malignant(cancerous) cells are found, then it'd be lung cancer. However, fluid on the lungs can also mean infection (pneumonia or TB or something else), pancreatitis and other conditions. So, I can;t say for sure that you have cancer what would lead to the diagnosis of your condition is a biopsy.
A malignant pleural effusion is a complication that occurs in 30 percent of lung cancers. It can also occur with other cancers, such as breast cancer, ovarian cancer, leukemias, and lymphomas. With lung cancer, a malignant pleural effusion may be the first sign of cancer, or it can occur as a late complication of advanced lung cancer. Overview A pleural effusion is defined as an abnormal amount of fluid in the space between the layers of tissue (the pleura) that line the lungs. If cancer cells are present in this fluid (the pleural cavity), it is called a malignant (cancerous) pleural effusion.
