Lung tumors are neoplastic lung nodules. These include:

Primary tumors of the lung/pulmonary system:
- Bronchial leiomyoma, a rare, benign tumor
- Lung cancer,[2][3][4][5][6] the term commonly used to refer to carcinoma of the lung
- Pulmonary carcinoid tumor
- Pleuropulmonary blastoma
- Neuroendocrine tumors of the lung[7]
- Lymphomas of the lung.[8]
- Sarcomas of the lung.[9]
- Some rare vascular tumors of the lung[8]
Non-lung tumors which may grow into the lungs:
Metastasis or secondary tumors/neoplasms with other origin:
- Metastasis to the lung
