Had sarcoidosis 21 years ago and lungs are scarred and calcified nodules throughout. CT Scan with dye for nodules in the thyroid said 6 mm spiculated areas right upper lung Been told for years scarring. Haven’t heard this term spiculated applied before. Of course I looked it up. Ugh. But maybe it’s just the scarring from the old sarcoidosis. Also a 4 mm hypodense adenoma with dots of calcification in the thyroid

@bijou2010, Hopefully your doctor can compare this scan with your previous scans to see if there is a marked difference. The scans are interpreted by human radiologists, and sometimes they have differences of opinion. Which can be alarming, even when there isn't anything to be concerned about. When they are looking at something that is this small, it can be difficult.
Have you seen your doctor to discuss the results yet?
