Patient's question:
My father is preparing to have an inguinal hernia surgery. During the preoperative routine physical examination, two masses were found in the lungs on the photos and CT scans. I am not very familiar with this situation, and I would like to ask what disease it could be if there are lung masses?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it's a pleasure to answer your question for you: A lung nodule refers to a well-defined, round shadow with a diameter of more than three centimeters, and it is a relatively common manifestation of lung lesions. There are many reasons that can cause lung nodules, among which the mildest disease should be inflammatory encapsulated lesions. This condition is often formed when inflammation in the patient's lungs is encapsulated by a film, resulting in an encapsulated inflammatory nodule.
