Did the pain attack occur during her menstrual period?
Does she always have extremely painful periods?
Where is the nodule exactly located on her lung?
What's the size of it?
Was she suffering from tuberculosis years ago?

Patients with solitary nodules on lung are usually asymptomatic.
In most of the cases these solitary nodules are benign, benign tumor or nodule of infective etiology (origin).

This ovary cyst can be a functional cyst, which often forms during the normal menstrual cycle.
Each month, a woman's ovaries grow tiny cysts that hold the eggs.
After releasing the eggs, the sac should dissolve.
In some cases, this sac won't dissolve, but, filled with fluid and grow like a big cyst, causing symptoms.

Other possible scenario, is that your daughter has endometriomas, cysts that develop in women who have endometriosis (the growth of cells similar to those that form the inside of the uterus, but in a location outside of the uterus).
Main complaints of endometriosis are heavy, very painful, long menstrual periods with lower back and lower abdomen pain.

There are many conditions of infective and inflammatory (noninfective) origin that can cause formation of lung cyst.

Was your daughter performed CT?

I am 29 have had multiple cysts on ovaries, have had tubal and culterization done so no more menstrals, and cyst on left breast, went to ER lastnight due to severe chest pain, normal xray...but multiple nodules on my lungs...doc said few are normal but to have as many as I do is not normal...can this all be connected. I have had many symptoms for the past 3 years. Muscle pain and weakness, weight gain, spasms, sweats, nausea, headaches and so forth. Pain in abdoman as well, cause of all the attention on my reproductive organs. But now am wondering if I need to look some wheres else.
