For multiple solid noncalcified nodules smaller than 6 mm in diameter, no routine follow-up is recommended (grade 2B; weak recommendation, moderate-quality evidence). Small nodules in this size range are frequently encountered in routine clinical practice and are usually benign in origin.

1 sie 2024 · The Fleischner Society pulmonary nodule recommendations pertain to the follow-up and management of indeterminate pulmonary nodules detected incidentally on CT and are published by the Fleischner Society.
Following evidence-based guidelines for pulmonary nodule management will ensure that lung cancers are detected and treated early whilst minimising the harm to patients and ensuring the best use of resources.
A pulmonary nodule (lung nodule) is a small round or oval finding in a lung that shows up as a “spot” or “shadow” on CT scan or x-ray. It measures up to 3 centimeters in diameter, and if larger, is called a lung mass. Lung nodules are common (especially in smokers, and are typically benign (not cancer).
Most nodules are benign (non-cancerous) and can be due to scarring from a prior lung infection. Nodules can occur with other conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis or previous TB infection; these nodules usually do not grow and may resolve over time.
4 paź 2021 · British Thoracic Society guidelines for pulmonary nodules were published in August 2015 for the management of pulmonary nodules seen on CT. In the United Kingdom, they supersede the Fleischner Society guidelines.
