Frosted glass nodule 1.1×1.6cm is serious if it is a malignant tumor, and mostly not serious if it is a benign disease.
Lung nodules are the imaging manifestations of many benign and malignant lung diseases. Milled glass nodules are cloudy shadows with high density on chest CT.
If the nodule is caused by malignant tumors such as lung cancer, metastatic carcinoma, lymphoma, etc., it is more serious, and local spread and metastasis, or even life-threatening, will occur if it is not treated in time.
If the nodule is caused by benign diseases such as pneumonia, tuberculosis, malignant tumor, granuloma, etc., it is not serious, and can be improved after timely and regular treatment, and only a small number of patients with pneumonia and tuberculosis may have serious conditions.
It is recommended that the patient should consult a specialist for a timely diagnosis, and the tumor markers and other test results should be combined to determine the possible causes of the disease, and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment or follow-up.
