A member asked:
What's a difference between "tiny benign calcified granuloma" on lung and tiny lung nodule? which is more serious and more likely to be cancer and why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Benign calcified granuloma is better described on characteristics, a nodule remains somewhat unpredictable in behavior and that makes it potentially more serious.
