Is this a light, cloudy spot?
What kind of symptoms you are experiencing?

A rounded light spot in the part of lung can be tuberculous or fungal granuloma, and malignant or benign tumor.
But, spots that do change in a short period are more likely to be cancer.
Spot that has grown need more testing to be done to know what this spot could be.
