Which department should I consult for pulmonary nodular disease?



Pulmonary nodular disease requires multidisciplinary treatment and should be treated with respiratory or thoracic surgery and rheumatology and immunology, or related departments if combined with other organ manifestations.

Pulmonary nodular disease is a disease of inflammatory cell proliferation caused by autoimmunity. Typical manifestations of pulmonary nodular disease are cough, chest tightness, fatigue, fever, chest pain, etc., and usually go to respiratory medicine or thoracic surgery. After completing the imaging and histopathological examinations and making a clear diagnosis, the respiratory physician, thoracic surgeon and rheumatologist will jointly formulate a treatment plan.

If the combination of other organ manifestations can be linked to the relevant departments, such as nodular erythema can be linked to dermatology, if the involvement of cardiac muscle arrhythmia or even heart failure can be linked to cardiology.

Lung nodular disease should go to the regular hospital in time, follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment. If the patient is not sure which department to go to, you can go to the front desk of the hospital for consultation.
