Multiple solid nodules found in the lungs shadowing larger ones about 6mmx4mm do not require treatment for the time being, observation is sufficient.
Multiple solid nodules in the lungs of 6mmx4mm usually do not require surgery unless there is a high suspicion that the 6mm nodule is caused by bronchopulmonary cancer. Because a 6mm nodule is so small, a puncture may not penetrate the actual cancer cells. If necessary, a large specimen can be obtained through minimally invasive thoracoscopic surgery to further define the nature of the 6mm nodule.
The most common cause of multiple solid nodules found in the lungs is lung infection, but it may also be old lung lesions, tuberculosis, pulmonary nodular disease, and lung metastases.
Multiple solid nodules found in the lungs with larger shadows of about 6mmx4mm can be temporarily observed without special treatment for the time being. If there is no change, it is necessary to check regularly and do a CT examination of the lungs after three months. If there is no change, have a CT scan of the lungs after six months. If there is still no change, the follow-up time should be determined under the guidance of the doctor. If lung infection is considered, anti-infection treatment and follow-up should be prescribed by the doctor.
