Questions on CT showing New 4B Spiculated Nodule

I see where they use the word irregular for the 1 cm mass. Did they actually say spiculated. Yes if spiculated very concerning. Spiculated masses are almost always malignant. When my primary doctor called me to tell me, I had a spiculated mass. She had me into a pulmonologist office the next day. I would get in to see pulmonologist right away

Thank you so much! In re-reading the report I only see irregular. I don't see spiculated and I don't know why I thought that but I can tell you I never heard the term before this CT so I either heard it from someone or picked it up in the crazy amount of research I've been doing.
I'm going to go with irregular 🙂 Can you tell me what the difference is between spiculated and irregular?
Thank you so much. I am so grateful for your insight!
