Are ground-glass lung nodules carcinoma in situ?

Ground-glass nodules in the lungs may be carcinoma in situ, which should be determined by further examination or review. Besides carcinoma in situ, there may be inflammation and alveolar hemorrhage.
1. Carcinoma in situ: it belongs to early malignant tumors in lungs, and the lesion is limited to the epithelial cell layer of mucosa, and it will be enlarged or solid through review.
2. Inflammation in the lungs: including infections caused by various reasons, and the nodular changes left after the inflammation subsides.
3. Alveolar hemorrhage: This is a small amount of bleeding in the alveoli caused by trauma or abnormal blood clotting, and most of it will disappear on its own after review.
Ground glass nodules in the lungs may be due to other causes, so please consult the hospital in time and take standardized treatment under the guidance of the clinician.
