Abnormal fluid collection in the lungs can be caused by lung infections or heart problems. The biggest problem with it is that it causes shortness of breath that can lead to respiratory arrest.
There are many different things that can cause your lungs to fill with fluid. Some of these things include lung infections, exposure to some toxins, kidney disease, and acute respiratory distress syndrome.
Fluid can enter the lung from a variety of sources. Typically pneumonia which involves infections or chemical trauma. In infections, the invading organisms break down the cells in the lungs. Additionally, the immune system will attempt to destroy the invading organisms and can contribute to the fluid build up.
pleural effusion, it is an overflow of liquid around the lungs
Fluid in the lungs may cause a bubbling sound in the lungs. If the fluid is inside the lung it is pulmonary edema, if the fluid accumulates on the outside of the lung it is pleural effusion.

Inflammation of the tissues that cover the lungs and line the chest cavity causes pleuritis, with fluid accumulating in the lungs.
Yes, fluid around the lungs can be caused by cancer. A doctor will perform a Thoracentesis to determine the cause of the fluid's presence.
If there is a small pleural effusion the treatment of the underlying cause will reverse the process allowing the fluid to recede back into the parenchyma of the lungs. Normally this is the case with CHF patients that have pulmonary edema. Right sided heart failure causes a fluid buildup that can go as far as the pleural space.
Rheumatoid arthritis, is an inflamatory disease and as such is also able cause inflammation of the lining of the lungs (pleurisy).inflammation may cause fluid to accumulate around the lungs (pleural effusion). This can also lead to shortness of breath.
This is called a Pulmonary Edema. Everybody has a small layer of fluid on their lungs, but this is where the air sacs within become logged with water and it then becomes dangerous and develops into this condition. The symptoms include breathing difficulties, coughing and distress.
Small amount of fluid in the lungs may not cause any pain. It can occur with viral infection, anaemia, heart failure. It may cause shortness of breath if more fluid accumulates and causes the lung to collapse. Certainly you will need further investigation.

The lungs also produce liquid that becomes part of the amniotic fluid
Pleural fluid is the fluid found in your lungs. My guess is that a pleural hemorrhage would be the result of fluid buildup expanding the lungs to the point where the tiny sacs in your lungs could rupture.
