A member asked:
Whar is abnormal area of ground glass shadowing in right upper lobe and tiny nodule on the left mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Inflammation: Ground glass shadow on ct scan usually means an inflammatory process which could be infectious or could be related to interstitial lung disease, of which there are many varieties. A tiny nodule, if less than 3-5 mm at your age is not likely significant, and is most likely post-inflammatory. The important thing is to obtain serial follow up to determine activity.
