Is a Spiculated lung nodule always malignant?

@valerie131 Hi just checking to see what the results of your pet scan was and your nodule situation currently. I know your post is a couple of years old though but was curious to see how you are doing. I hope this message finds you well. I am currently under surveillance of 3-4 small ground glass nodules 4-5mm but one of them is now being described as spiculated one year ago. recommendation was to follow up in one year and now at 9 months later the recommendation is to scan now. I'm not sure why the change in the recommendation, my pulmonologist was vague. Of course I am going to do it but it all has me worried sick again while I wait. Scanxiety is the worst! I was also puzzled by the fact you had a small nodule in your right middle lobe for 12 years that remained unchanged and then seemed a little bigger in January. Could it be just a margin of error. 2mm isn't that big of a difference after 12 years of stable I would think but I'm not a doctor either... Wishing you good health.

@hercules Many years ago I had a spiculated nodule. After a couple of CT scans, yearly, it was gone. I still have lung CT scans every year. Please do not be anxious, just pray about it. That is what I did. My pulmonologist was surprised when it was gone and actually called the radiologist on the phone, while I was in the office, to have him review it again. God bless. I cannot figure out whose post was the original. I hope the one with the spiculated nodule can see my reply.
