Pulmonary nodules are small, focal, radiographic opacities that may be solitary or multiple. A classic solitary pulmonary nodule (SPN) is a single, spherical, well-circumscribed, radiographic opacity measuring less than or equal to 30 mm in diameter and is surrounded completely by aerated lung.
Benign pulmonary nodules can have a wide variety of causes. Many are the result of inflammation in the lung as a result of an infection or disease producing inflammation in the body. The nodule may represent an active process or be the result of scar tissue formation related to prior inflammation.Benign developmental lesions may also appear as nodules.any are the result of inflammation in the lung as a result of an infection or disease producing inflammation in the body.
