Hello Welcome to the HealthcareMagic
As your lung nodule is increasing in size, malignancy needs to be ruled out here. Causes can be benign nodule, cancer, tuberculosis, abscess, rheumatoid arthritis etc
Biopsy needs to be done to rule out cancer.
Histopathology examination done from biopsy.
Hope I have solved your query
Consult pulmonologist for detail history and physical examination and discuss all these
Take care
