Is a Spiculated lung nodule always malignant?

It was also semi solid and by three years of ct scans it became solid.. I was then given a pet scan and it was definitely confirmed that it was cancer. I remember that a small nodule showed up beside the original nodule and they later determined that it was a different cancer, this scared me a lot because I had no idea you could have two different cancers in one place.

Thank you for the good wishes and I hope you have only good wishes in your life.

If one has multiple nodules and they are thought to be primary cancers and not to be metastasized, then that sounds like multifocal lung cancer. Nodules start out as "ground glass" and become semi-sold to solid. This can take a long time.
