: More details re the appearance of the nodule would be helpful. Is there spiculation, calcification, solid or liquid appearance? The details are in the report. The nodule may require a biopsy to determine if there is malignancy. Please follow up with your Physician. A COVID 19 vaccination is recommended, if eligible.
