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!

@snorfish a spiculated mass is a very specific type of irregular mass with what appears as spikes coming from it. Mine was diagnosed as spiculated right away and like I said almost always malignant. An irregular mass is less specific and may be benign or malignant from my understanding. Maybe your Dr used the term. I would still see a pulmonologist right away. Hope everything turns out to be ok
