A member asked:
I am a 44 yo non-smoking male with suspected pancreatitis. an abdominal ct revealed multiple lung nodules with spiculated edges and up to 41mm?

Worrisome; biopsy: This is a worrisome development. Spiculated lung nodules (reaching in, like tentacles, into the lung) can point to a cancer, even a spreading cancer. Given your history of pancreatic problems, it could be pancreatic cancer. Or, it could be an unusual infection or something benign. The only way to know is to do a biopsy, which a pulmonologist (lung specialist) or CT surgeon can arrange. TTYD soon.
