My pulmonologist tells me that the granuloma tumors that I have in my lungs (four in the left lung and one on the right) is from the COPD. He has ruled out sarcoidosis. I would like to know that are the chances that these granuloma tumors will turn cancerous.
Its best to get any lumps aspirated at the vet to be on the safe side.
No, a tumor in the lungs is a sign of lung cancer.

Chances are, the lung tumor is actually causing your dogs cough. If your dog has gotten a secondary illness due to the tumor, or the tumor is damaging the lung tissue more, then you need to consult your veterinarian about the best way to proceed. At the very least, they can prescribe medications that will make your dog more comfortable. I wish you the best of luck.
There are several symptoms associated with lung tumors. One major sign is if you start coughing up blood. Chest paint and shortness of breath are two other symptoms. If you get recurring respiratory infections that could be another sign that you may have a lung tumor. If you are truly concerned that you have a lung tumor I would not hesitate to go to a doctor.

Lung cancer.
A 2 centimeter tumor in the lung is roughly equivalent to the size of a grape or a cherry. This size indicates that the tumor is relatively small, but it is still significant enough to potentially impact lung function and may require medical evaluation and treatment. The exact implications depend on factors like the tumor type, location, and the overall health of the patient.
Adenocarcinoma of the lung
The cancer had caused the cells to form a tumor; whether it was malignant or benign was unknown.
Lung neoplasm refers to an abnormal growth or tumor in the lungs. It can be either benign or malignant (cancerous) and may arise from different cell types within the lung tissue. Symptoms can vary depending on the type and location of the neoplasm, and diagnosis is typically confirmed through imaging studies and biopsies.
