A ground glass nodule (GGN) is a type of lung nodule that appears as a hazy, translucent area on a CT scan, indicating partial solid or fluid-filled tissue. GGNs can be associated with various conditions, including infections, inflammation, or early-stage lung cancer. They are typically categorized as either stable or changing in appearance over time, which helps determine the underlying cause and the need for further evaluation or treatment. Monitoring is often recommended, especially if the nodule displays certain characteristics suggestive of malignancy.
