A member asked:

Would a subpleural nodule be a subpleural lymph node in ct image?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Michael Gabor answered

Specializes in Diagnostic Radiology

Not necessarily: Usually not a lymph node, more likely a small benign granuloma from prior inflammation assuming there are no risk factors for malignancy. Subpleural simply refers to the location...next to, or beneath, the pleura, the membrane that lines the lungs.

Dr Munshower and 2 doctors agreed
