Is a Spiculated lung nodule always malignant?

Hi @shellyrenee, Welcome to Connect. Sorry to hear that your nodules have changed that much in the past six months, but it's good that they found them at this early stage. I agree, if you've seen that much change over a six month time period, it's certainly time to take action. You may want to ask your surgeon if your samples will be sent for genetic/biomarker testing. As the results can impact any future treatment plans. None of your lymph nodes were lighting up on the PET scan, correct? Are all of the nodules isolated to the same lobe of the lung?

No lymph nodes lit up. The PET scan was 4 months ago. The dominant is in lower right lobe, the subpleural one is lateral lower right lobe. Its behind a rib and cant be accessed with needle aspiration. The ground glass one is along the periphery of the right lower lobe. The dominant one was apparently part cystic and part solid. The cystic part of that nodule has actually "slightly decreased" but the solid part has not.
