A member asked:
What does two pleurally based nodular densities noted along the right middle lobe and lingula respectively, mean?

Usually ok: Lung nodules happen commonly for a lot of reasons. Scarring in the lung is the most common, from a past infection, autoimmune disease, or even from childhood. The worry is that if these nodules get bigger over time, that they can actually be cancerous. How much docs worry is based on your age, smoking and health history, how big they are, and location. If your doc is worried repeat CT is done.

Nodular densities : They may be totally simple in nature but I would rely on the radiologist t give you a differential diagnosis and if you require further studies
