Is a Spiculated lung nodule always malignant?

Hi everyone,

I had the results of my last CT scan follow up today and here it is :

Laterally in the mid right lung, there is a 1.4 x 1.4 cm pulmonary nodule. It is lobulated and mildly spiculated. It is slightly increasing in size since the original study of 4/23/2024, when it measured 1.2 x 0.7 cm

As you may guess, it's triggering a lot of anxiety and would like to know what you think in terms of possible diagnosis, thanks in advance for your answers.
Best regards

I truly understand your anxiety and the way you are feeling, I too have been where you are and I’m still going through this process. I’m very hopeful for you because your nodule is very small and also you are getting medical attention. It’s important to know that nothing is definite at this stage and once you get all the information they will work with you as to what is best. I know that things are improving so much more today due to early detection as well as better treatments and medication to help with good results. I wish you a happy and healthy life.

Hello @democrite , what are your news, follow up and course of action ? I too am in a similar situation, one lung nodule was discovered in middle right lobe with 13 mm diameter on July 20, after initial CT scan ( discovered by chance) of 12 mm. Pet scan showed SUVmax of 2.1, and the doctors decided a surgery. Im seeing a surgeon on 27 avgust.
