What is 9 mm nodular density in right lower lobe?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Lung nodule: It sounds like a lung nodule. I assume you had a CT of the chest, or abdomen (the latter of which includes the lower chest). If it appears to be a true nodule, the typical recommendation is to get follow-up CTs at 3, 9, and 24 months, PET, and/or biopsy. I would speak to your primary doc about further management, especially if you have a smoking history or other risk factors for cancer.
