How is there a small nodule on the lung?

There are several cases of pulmonary nodules: the first is that if a single nodule is relatively small, it is a few millimeters below one centimeter, and it is usually impossible to directly distinguish between benign and malignant. Such nodules need to be followed up, that is, to observe their changes after a few months. If you grow up with follow-up, this kind of nodule should usually be considered malignant and should be treated in time;

If the nodule is larger than one centimeter, it depends on whether it is smooth and whether there are burrs and leaves. If there is such a situation, malignancy should be considered and diagnosis should be made in time.

If it is not benign, it is more likely to be further confirmed in future follow-up.

Nodules larger than one centimeter can be judged by further examination. When found, nodules are not single, and multiple nodules are usually malignant. What needs to be identified is whether it is possible to transfer. You can go to the clinic for further examination.
