It doesn’t matter where the lung nodule grows.

Lung nodules that grow close to the bronchial tubes are usually benign and do not cause adverse effects, but they are not absolute. Lung nodules can grow in any part of both lungs. Lung nodules growing near the bronchial tubes are mostly benign, but it is also necessary to assess the size, location, and clear boundaries of the lung nodules, whether the internal echogenicity is regular, and whether there are signs of malignant changes such as blood vessel penetration, vacuolar signs, and pleural stretching. The risk factor is relatively high when the lung nodule grows in the hilum because of the presence of arteries, veins, nerves, and lymphatic vessels in the hilum, and if the nodule is malignant, it may produce symptoms of compression on the surrounding tissues, and lead to inability to be separated or difficult to be separated during surgery, which may induce hemorrhage and jeopardize life. It is recommended to consult the Department of Thoracic Surgery of a regular hospital to evaluate the nature of the lung nodule.
