The presence of 8.5 x 2.4 mm plaques in the lungs may not be serious, but malignant changes cannot be ruled out and need to be determined on a case-by-case basis.
Some people may have 8.5×2.4mm plaques in the lungs, which may be old nodular lesions in the lung tissues, there may be a large amount of fibrous tissue in the plaques, and sometimes localized calcification may occur, which will not cause coughing, chest pain and other uncomfortable symptoms, and can be regularly conducted CT or MRI and other imaging tests to observe the changes, and do not require special treatment.
Sometimes, when 8.5×2.4mm plaques appear in the lungs, the boundary with the surrounding tissues may be blurred, and the size of the plaques will gradually increase, and there are often symptoms such as low-grade fever, dry cough, and persistent pain in the chest, etc. It is necessary to carry out pathological examination in time to make a clear diagnosis, and if it is a tumor of the lungs, it is necessary to perform surgical resection at the earliest possible time.
After the discovery of 8.5×2.4mm plaques in the lungs, it is best to consult a doctor for a detailed examination, and take corresponding treatment measures in time after the cause of the disease is clarified, so as to prevent malignant changes in the later stage, which may lead to serious consequences.
