A member asked:
Multiple parenchymal nodules less than 4mm & multiple pleural nodules less than 5mm with a dominant nodule 6.4mm all solid in lower lobes next action?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mgt: The cause of the nodules can be further assessed by a biopsy, screening of washings for infections and malignancy. Are you a smoker? do you have a family history of lung cancer? At your age without risk factors, lung cancer is not likely. I would suggest an appointment with your pulmonary specialist.
