A nodule is a small mass of tissue which forms in or on the body, usually in response to injuries. Nodules are typically hard and they can be easily felt. For the most part, the masses are benign, requiring no medical action, but sometimes they can interfere with the function of the body, or they may be malignant.
Geodes (Greek Î³ÎµÏÎ´Î·Ï - ge-ÅdÄs, earthlike) are commonly independent spherical masses of resistant mineral matter that are usually hollow. The extreme filling of a geode so that it is solid is also common.Some people refer to completely in-filled geodes as nodules, but the two names are not always consistently used.eodes differ from nodules in that a nodule is a solid mass of mineral matter, but some nodules may have a tiny void space in their interiors and the distinction between a geode and a nodule may be barely discernible if the cavity is miniscule.
