A member asked:
Is nodular density in chest x-ray beside nipple shadow it's usually represent cancer or there are other causes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Chest xray nodule: Lung nodules can be caused by a variety of things - can be caused by infection, inflammation, cancer, non-cancerous growths. I would recommend a patient contact their doctor to see what recommended followup is for them. There are definitely possibilities other than cancer.
