What Does a Solid Lung Nodule Mean?

1. A solid lung nodule often refers to a nodule in the lung with a high density, and the shape of the nodule is usually round-like. The granuloma formed by the patient's long-term chronic infection can be called a solid nodule.

2. Among them, solid nodules caused by lung infections, tuberculosis, etc., belong to common benign diseases. Generally, it is necessary to judge whether the patient's solid nodules are benign or malignant based on the morphology of the nodules.

This question should be answered like this: Due to the popularity of lung CT scans in recent years, most people will find some small nodules in the lung on their lung CT reports. However, most of these small nodules are benign, and only a few are malignant. Whether a small lung nodule is serious or not mainly depends on the size of the nodule and its radiological properties. At the same time, it is necessary to consider clinical manifestations, such as whether there is long-term cough, hemoptysis, chest pain, weight loss, etc. Many factors need to be combined to determine whether it is serious.
