Overview
The incidence rate of lung masses is approximately 58 per 100 000 individuals in the United States. The incidence of lung masses increases with age; the median age at diagnosis is between 25 to 70 years. Males are more commonly affected with lung masses than females. The male to female ratio is approximately 2 to 1. There is no racial predilection for lung masses.
