What is the difference between a fluid- filled nodule and solid nodule?

A thyroid nodule is a lump in or on the thyroid gland. Nodules can be caused by a simple overgrowth of normal thyroid tissue, fluid-filled cysts, inflammation, or a tumor. When there's an overgrowth of normal thyroid tissues, this is commonly referred to as a thyroid adenoma. Thyroid adenomas sometimes form as a result of degenerated cysts, or fluid-filled cavities, in the thyroid.

What is an apical pulmonary nodule?

A lung nodule is a node that can be from infection, scar tissue or tumor. Depending on the size, shape and character of the nodule we determine the likelihood of cancer. If we cannot rule the possibility of lung cancer, a larger nodule (or mass) may be biopsied either using a bronchoscope by a lung doctor, or a needle biopsy under CT guidance by a radiologist for diagnosis in the least invasive way although there is a small chance of collapsing the lung.

What could a sizable and movable soft lump to the left of your spine be in between the bottom of the waist and top of your butt with a light ache at the site but generalized muscular and joint pain?

It could be something called a myofascial nodule... When you've hurt your back in the past, was the back pain located in this area and you discovered the nodule at that time? If so, it would be that... It's a small torn/irritated muscle & connective tissue area called "myofascial" nodule... It could also be a sebaceous cyst... Has it ever appeared to be infected and/or drained pus?? Highly unlikely it would be a fatty (benign) tumor in that area...
