What causes multiple small nodules in both lungs?

Multiple nodules in both lungs may be caused by tuberculosis, pneumonia, lung metastases and so on.
1. Tuberculosis: Tuberculosis is caused by infection, which needs to be treated by anti-infection. When the inflammation subsides completely, localized calcium salt deposition will occur, which will cause the symptoms of multiple nodules in both lungs.
2. Pneumonia: Pneumonia is caused by bacterial or viral infection, after anti-infection treatment, the local inflammatory reaction will be left, which will form calcified foci and make the patients have multiple nodules in both lungs.
3. Lung metastasis: lung is the metastatic site of malignant tumors, and common primary malignant tumors include gastrointestinal tract, genitourinary system, liver, thyroid, breast, bone, soft tissue, skin cancers and sarcomas. Imaging is characterized by multiple, variable-sized, uniformly dense, well-defined round lesions.
Multiple small nodules in both lungs are recommended to consult the hospital in time to clarify the specific cause of the disease, and actively check and treat.
