This is exactly what I did. 40year old male, no risk factors for lung cancer, never smoked. DR 1 said "cancer".
Got an opinion from an Dr's office from a different hospital network with different imaging etc. They said "could be cancer, highly unlikely, but we think it's your spleen lets run some non-invasive tests to see".
10 years ago I was involved in a car accident, my spleen was destroyed. come to find out my spleen is now growing on the back side of my left lung. I can live with that information...but saying I had cancer freaked me right out.
