Hello. Thank you for posting.
A nodule is a "spot on the lung," seen on an X-ray or computed tomography (CT) scan. Normal lung tissue surrounds this small round or oval solid overgrowth of tissue. It may be a single or solitary pulmonary nodule. Or, you may have multiple nodules. Noncancerous lung nodules are often caused by previous infections.
