A member asked:
A very faint subpleural nodular density in the left lower lobe posterolaterally noted on ct scan along with minor nodularity to posterior lung bases?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Do they give a size: for the "subpleural nodular density"? There are a litany of potential causes, from chronic to acute, from inflammatory to neoplastic, from no concern to worrisome. More specific info on the nodule and any relevant clinical history would help narrow it down.
