Is a Spiculated lung nodule always malignant?
Lung Health | Last Active: 14 hours ago | Replies (260)Comment receiving replies
Yes, it is possible I have had bronchiectasis for a few years and my last CT showed a nodule that is spiculated. Had a bronchoscopy four weeks ago and the biopsy result came back negative for cancer and shows that I have a microbacteria infection that is treatable with antibiotics. My pulmonologist referred me to an infectious disease specialist for treatment. Hope all comes out well for you.

@sunbeam1951 Can you tell us a little about your symptoms?
Before finding the infection, did the pulmonologist have you doing airway clearance, with or without saline nebs to clear your lungs? Did they tell you how severe your infection is, like whether your lungs have cavities, and which strain(s) of mycobacteria were found?
