Lung Nodule
Lung nodules are small abnormal growths or spots in the lungs that can be detected through imaging tests like X-rays or CT scans.
When a lung nodule is detected, further evaluation is often necessary to determine its nature and potential risks.
Lung nodules can vary in size, ranging from a few millimeters to a few centimeters in diameter. They can be solitary or multiple, and may be identified incidentally during routine medical examinations or when investigating unrelated respiratory symptoms. These nodules can have various causes. The most common causes are benign lesions, such as granulomas resulting from previous infections like tuberculosis or fungal infections.
Our team of experienced healthcare professionals is dedicated to helping you overcome your symptoms and regain your health.
Symptoms
Lung nodules typically do not cause specific symptoms on their own. However, if they are associated with an underlying condition or if they grow in size, some symptoms may arise, like:
- Persistent cough
- Shortness of breath or wheezing
- Chest pain or discomfort
- Coughing up blood (hemoptysis)
- Recurrent respiratory infections
How diagnosis is made?
The importance of diagnosing lung nodules lies in identifying their nature (benign or malignant) and underlying causes.
Imaging Tests
X-rays, CT scans, or PET scans to detect and evaluate the nodules.
Evaluation
Analyzing size, shape, and growth rate to assess the likelihood of malignancy.
Follow-up imaging or monitoring
Regular scans to track changes over time.
Biopsy (if necessary)
Obtaining a tissue sample through minimally invasive procedures for further analysis.
