Subpleural pulmonary nodules
Updates to Article Attributes
Body
was changed:
Subpleural pulmonary nodules are location based-based category of pulmonary nodules and are also often considered a type of peri lymphaticperilymphatic nodule.
Pathology
Location
They immediatelyIn most occasions, they abut directly the costal pleural sufaces in most occasionssurfaces, and to thea lesser degree, the diaphragmatic and mediastinal pleural surfaces. They are occur in various shapes and may have eitherbroad or narrow contact with the pleura. They can sometimes lie slightly deeper and be connected to pleura with a pleural tag.
SignifianceSignificance
According to one study, all non-calcified solid nodules attached to the costal pleura less than 10 mm in average diameter, with lentiform, oval, semicircular, or triangular shapes and smooth margins, were proven to be benign. Many authorities usually recommend an annual repeat scan at around 1 year for incidentally detected such nodules 1.
If they are irregular in shape then the approach may be different.
