Pneumothorax patients who have healed are examined and found to have lung nodules, which can be benign nodules or malignant nodules.
Due to the stimulation of dust, oil smoke, tobacco and other substances, chronic inflammation may occur in the lungs. After chronic inflammation occurs, the tissues will proliferate and form lung nodules, which are benign nodules.
These nodules are benign. Lung nodules also include malignant nodules, which usually refer to lung cancer. The boundary of the nodules is not clear, and they may be in the form of burrs, irregular shape, and sometimes the sign of vacuoles can be seen, which can be detected by CT examination.
If a nodule occurs in the lung, if it is considered to be benign, it is recommended to have a regular review, if it is considered to be malignant, it needs to be treated surgically.
