It can be many tings : fibrosis calcified nodule (to the local old lesion - tuberculosis, dust intake to the workplace ), cancer, active tuberculosis, autoimmune disease, and more.
The differentiation can be made on radiography, MRI, microscopic examination from biopsy fragment.

∙ 15y agoa nodule is a tiny growth in the lung that almost everyone has it is not uncommon. however if you have copd or any lung disease you should have your lungs tested every 6 months to make sure they are not growing

∙ 10y agoA pulmonary nodule is a small round or oval-shaped growth in the lung. It is sometimes also called a spot on the lung or a coin lesion. Pulmonary nodules are generally smaller than 3 centimeters in diameter. If the growth is larger than that, it is known as a pulmonary mass. A mass is more likely to represent a cancer than is a nodule.

∙ 10y agoA lung nodule is any spot within your lungs that is a size of 3cm or smaller, and spot that is larger than 3cm then it is considered a Lung Mass. Both lung nodules and lung masses are capable of being cancerous. But in most cases they are not. These show up on X-rays as small, rounded spots dotted throughout your left or right lung.

Is Pulmonary Embolism the same as Pulmonary Hypertension?
A pulmonary embolism is also characterized as central or peripheral, depending on the location or the arterial branch involved. Central vascular zones include the main pulmonary artery, the left and right main pulmonary arteries, the anterior trunk, the right and left interlobar arteries, the left upper lobe trunk, the right middle lobe artery, and the right and left lower lobe arteries.
What is hetero-echoic lesion?
heteroechoic nodule in left lobe
What is non calcified pulmonary parenchymal nodule?
sarcoidosis
How large is 7mm nodule?
Small lung cell cancer - 7mm enhancing nodule posterior right frontal lobe is this large
How do you trace the path from the femoral vein to the lower lobe of the right lung via the right pulmonary artery?
From the Femoral vein, you would go to the inferior vena cava, which then leads to the right atrium of the heart. From there, you'd go tothe right AV valve to the right ventricle and then to the pulmonary SL valve. Then, you'd go to the pulmonary artery and then the lungs. Once in the lungs, go to the lower lobe of the right lung. There are three lobes within the rght lung, unlike the left lung, wich has two. The three lobes are the Superior lobe, at the top, the Middle lobe, in the middle, and lastly, the Inferior lobe at the bottom
What is upper lobe blood diversion?
The pulmonary veins running from the upper lobes seem more prominent than those running from the lower lobes.

What is pulmonary lobectomy?

Where was no evidence of pleura effusion What does this mean?
no pleural effusion no pulmonary nodule no endobronchial lessions of the lungs
Which body part has a lower part called a lobe?
The ear has a lower part called a lobe.
What is an isthmal nodule found in the thyroid gland?
It is a mistake. The isthmus of the thyroid gland is a thin bridge across the trachea, linking the right and left lobes. It occasionally also gives rise to the pyramidal lobe, a normal variant of thyroid anatomy. The adjectival form of isthmus is isthmic, so a nodule in the thyroid isthmus is an isthmic nodule, not an isthmal nodule.
What does the lower lobe function?
ambot
