A member asked:
Worried about a solid lung nodule 4 mm in 2009 and is now 7 mm, non calcified, smooth borders. rad said it looks like benign soft tissue, possible granuloma. do non calcified granulomas grow, and could a cancer grow at that growth rate?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and yes.: Get an opinion from pulmonologist or thoracic surgeon regarding opinion about possible biopsy. It depends whether or not the benefits of biopsy outweigh its risks.
