A member asked:

What are intrapulmonary lymph nodes? are they the same as preffisurral nodules and if they are found on chest ct scan is this abnormal?? or cancerous?

Explanation: No, it is not the same. Intrapulmonary lymph nodes are abnormal findings , but could be benign!! And accidental findings related old infection. You have to discuss this with your doctor, please.
