Hairy glass nodule in lung is only one of the results of lung imaging examination, 16mm is a lesion with larger area, which may be caused by tuberculosis, inflammation and lung cancer, etc. However, we can’t be 100% sure that it is lung cancer by virtue of this single result, but only say that the larger the area is, the higher the possibility of malignant changes.
