A member asked:
My mom age 60yrs had severe cough with expectorant since 6yrs , ct lungs shows small calification nodule in sub pleural region in rt basal lung?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Calcified: Th cough and the nodule may not be related. A calcified nodule is frequently benign. If it is the only abnormality on scan, commonly recommended is another scan 3-6 months later to be certain it's not growing. If no growth in 3-6 months, another scan at 1 year might be suggested.
