so scar tissue can be spiculated also ? I am new to all of this. It has been less than 5 days. I have a PET scan tomorrow. The doctor saw the 1.4 cm or 14mm spiculated nodule and was 100% sure it was cancer. My first instinct was how quick can you get it out of me. I went to discuss doing a biopsy not removing cancer. I was shocked to say the least. I requested the PET scan. I am really hoping that it is Interstitial Lung Disease which I have plenty of reason to believe it is based on what 2 pulmonologists told me. They did not see my latest CT and radiologist report yet. I am trying to look for signs, like the first post is spiculated always malignant. I am very scared. Some of the information I find helps to reassure me. Some of it scares me. This is the first I had seen about spiculated scar tissue nodules. I see plenty about scar tissue. And mention of large lymph nodes and 2 nodules. I just want to get the PET scan so I am not worrying. And of course I want PET results ASAP - although I dread them at the same time. I am not generally a worrier, in most situations. But I am very worried. Thanks in advance for any information you can provide me.

Hello, just checking to see what had come of the further evaluation of your 9mm spiculated lung nodule. I recently learned that one of my small ground glass nodules that was described last year as 4.2mm ground glass nodule with indistinct margins is now being described on this one year follow up scan as 4.2mm ground glass nodule with "spiculated margins" I am trying to see if this represents a true morphology of this nodule from last year or just a difference in reporting style or language. Scan last year was read by a different radiologist from the scan taken this year. So two different interpretations of same nodules? Or change occurred in one nodule? That has me anxious. Recommendation is re-scan in one year. My pulmonologist who went over the report doesn't seem concerned and is comfortable with a one year wait before scanning again. Was your 9mm spiculated nodule solid or ground glass. Was it discovered spiculated at 9mm or do they know it had been there on any previous scans and it changed? Thanks for your insight. Hoping this message finds you in good health!
