A member asked:

Is a solitary pulmonary nodule if calcified , a glanuloma?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not necessarily: Central calcification, laminated or stippled calcification (popcorn) calcified nodules are benign. However, calcifications on the edge or periphery of a nodule could still be malignant and need further evaluation with followup ct scan, pet scan and/or biopsy.
