A member asked:

What is the treatment for calcified lung nodules?

Dr. Michael Gabor answered

Specializes in Diagnostic Radiology

It depends on: the pattern of calcification. If the nodule is completely calcified, then it is benign, and requires no treatment. If not, then depending on the pattern of calcification and other nodule characteristics, it may require biopsy, follow up, or possibly nothing.
