A member asked:
6mm ground glass ill defined upper left lung what percentage that its not cancer i am getting another ct scan in dec. to check for growth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lung lesion: At your age and with this description i would think there is an overwhelming chance that this lesion is benign. I agree with a repeat scan in a couple months. If it grows a ct guided needle biopsy could be performed by an interventional radiologist.
