Is a Spiculated lung nodule always malignant?

My first Mayo CT scan right before surgery read: The largest nodule is mostly solid, irregular and somewhat spiculated in the right upper lobe. This is difficult to measure given the morphology but the apical component is approximately 22 mm in diameter with approximately 11 mm of solid density. Another nearly fully solid component more inferiorly/anteriorly is 13 x 17 mm. A inferior lateral component is approximately 10 mm with 8 mm of solid component and more groundglass density inferiorly. they removed a mass measuring 3.1cm and said it was a Stage 1b adenocarcinoma.
I always do my scans at Mayo now for consistency. I have multifocal lung cancer so always watching a nodule

Thank you for your reply. Which mayo do you go to? I spent a few days in Rochester for another issue but it isn’t convenient to fly back and forth. Also very expensive. Jacksonville is within driving distance/. My CT report from 2 months ago, didn’t mention whether my nodules were solid or the density of either module. ? Wish you the best, knowing you are going with Mayo as your care, has to bring some level of peace.
