Multiple Pulmonary Nodules

Multiple Pulmonary Nodules are multiple, small, round growths in the lungs. They are usually less than 3 centimetres in size, but can be larger. These nodules are usually composed of abnormal cells and can sometimes be a sign of lung cancer. A CT scan is usually used to detect multiple pulmonary nodules and further testing, such as biopsy, may be needed to determine if they are cancerous. Early diagnosis and treatment of multiple pulmonary nodules is important to prevent complications, as they can lead to further lung problems. Treatment options may include surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy.
