Is a Spiculated lung nodule always malignant?

@linpvc I wonder if anyone mentioned doing a biopsy and how soon. It seems the referral to a thoracic surgeon will involve this discussion. Have they ruled out infectious disease? Not sure if you posted the size of speculated nodule. It is worrisome and I'm glad you are going to see the right medical doctor to help identify this nodule. All the best and will pray for positive outcome.

@lala56 Hi, thanks for the response. It is, at last scan, 17 mm. It grew to this size quickly. I’m getting a pet scan soon. I’’d like to get a surgical biopsy because a needle biopsy left me with a collapsed lung and a painful stay in hospital for a week. All test for various infections, came back negative.
