摘要
Solitary pulmonary nodules are a common problem presented to the chest physicians. In our era, with the integration of new technologies, an increasing number of smaller-sized solitary pulmonary nodules are being detected The primary objective in evaluating a solitary pulmonary nodule is prompt identification and treatment of early-stage lung cancer. A secondary objective is the avoidance of surgical morbidity in the diagnosis of a benign lung lesion.
