Solitary Pulmonary Nodule
Research News and Information
Definition of 'Solitary Pulmonary Nodule'A single lung lesion that is characterized by a small round mass of tissue, usually less than 1 cm in diameter, and can be detected by chest radiography. A solitary pulmonary nodule can be associated with neoplasm, tuberculosis, cyst, or other anomalies in the lung, the CHEST WALL, or the PLEURA. Common names: Solitary Pulmonary Nodule; Solitary Pulmonary Nodules; Pulmonary Nodule, Solitary; Pulmonary Nodules, Solitary; Nodule, Solitary Pulmonary; Nodules, Solitary Pulmonary; Pulmonary Coin Lesion; Lesion, Pulmonary Coin; Lesions, Pulmonary Coin; Coin Lesions, Pulmonary; Pulmonary Coin Lesions |

Evaluation of the solitary pulmonary nodule.
13 Oct 2009 
Solitary pulmonary nodules are common radiologic findings, typically discovered incidentally through chest radiography or computed tomography of the neck, chest, and abdomen. Primary care physicians must decide how to pursue an evaluation of a ... Read more...
21 Sep 2009 Primary pulmonary amyloidosis is rare. Three patterns of involvement have been described: tracheobronchial, nodular and diffuse parenchymal. The nodular parenchymal amyloid deposits are often multiple, much less common focal. We hereby present a ... Read more...
