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.
