Hello everyone, I am Dr. Guo who answers all questions. Every day when I leave a message in the background, I receive many patients with pulmonary nodules asking me what are the manifestations of benign nodules, and let me teach them to understand some of the descriptions on their reports, what do they mean? Today, I will also explain to you in this **, friends who want to learn to watch, carefully read the **content. The first type is a lung nodule less than five millimeters, whether solid or ground-glassy, and is basically not considered malignant.

The second type is ground-glass lung nodules within eight millimeters, most of which are also benign and generally within a controllable range, and regular follow-up is sufficient.

The third type is a pure ground-glass lung nodule with a density of less than minus 600, which is relatively stable in nature and generally does not become malignant.

Fourth, it is a ground-glass lung nodule with blood vessels inside, as long as the blood vessels are not twisted and thickened, there is basically no need to worry.

Fifth: It is a pulmonary nodule that becomes smaller, and the tumor generally does not get smaller, so there is no need to worry. Sixth: it is a lung nodule that grows rapidly in a short period of time, for example, the nodule grows several times in a week or two weeks, which is considered to be related to infection, and generally does not consider the tumor.

Seventh: the pulmonary nodule changes from solid to ground-glass, don't worry, this means that the internal components of the nodule are decreasing, and malignancy is generally not considered. Type 8: Solid pulmonary nodules that have not grown for more than two years of follow-up are basically stable, so don't worry. The ninth type is a completely calcified lung nodule, most of which are imprints left by infection in the lungs after absorption. So what are the descriptions in your report that you can't understand?
