Biopsy: You must get a lung biopsy this is a big nodule in a high risk patient.

Referral: Past smoking puts you at risk for cancer at any time of your life. A benign finding is only benign if proven by a tissue if you have the risk. A 2.7 cm nodule is pretty big and should be worked up. A pet scan can give an indication but still a tissue is the utmost in diagnosis.

Should I be concerned? CT Scan shows spiculated nodular nodule left upper lobe measures 10 x 7 mm. Could represent a small lung neoplasm but is surrounded by clustered micronodularity, raising the possibility for a focus of infection or inflamation?
